I was going to say everywhere else is reporting 19x10.5 and 19x11 with 305 Cup 2s as the wheels. Same as the 350, so I would guess the suspension tweaks are as well.


Edit* as is Ford now

It’s highlighted by a lower stance, a redesigned front splitter and rear spoiler, and 305/30/R19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires wrapped around split-fitment aluminum wheels – 19x10.5-inch front and 19x11-inch rear.

The tires, 1.5 inches wider than those found with Performance Pack Level 1, provide a firmer grip, and work with a retuned chassis to put the car more than a half-inch closer to the ground. The package is available exclusively with a manual transmission.

Custom tuned MagneRide® dampers and quicker steering calibration provide better response. Other improvements over Performance Pack Level 1 equipment include a 67 percent stiffer rear stabilizer bar, a 12 percent stiffer front stabilizer bar, 20 percent stiffer front springs and rear springs that are 13 percent stiffer, all of which contribute to a more stable ride around corners with less body roll.

I thought the PP2 wheels were 19x9.5F, 19x10R. Did that change now?Thanks
According to the press release and articles it's 10.5 in the front and 11 in the rear.

Apparently the Order Guide which as the only source of the previous data was wrong . . . either accidentally or on purpose.:D

Damn, if these new specs are correct (sorry I don't trust anything until official anymore...) the pp2 should be a great out of the box performer! On paper it should be very close to the SS 1LE, excellent.

The best part is the PP2 being 'just a package' is that regular discounts should work and no worry about markups!

Basically a GT350 in GT guise. It makes sense really. Ford just went into the parts bin of things that already are well proven and tossed them on the GT with some tuning for that frame. It should be very interesting how well the 18 performs on the track now with this package.

I guess Ford got tired of reading about the pounding the 1LE gave them and no GT to match it.

Should easily match a base GT 350 due to having stickier tyres and a more torque engine. :)

For me the big sticky tires up front, having a 4-square set-up, is the business.

The "Performance Package" with narrower front tires on a front-heavy car must have been a marketing thing. For real performance, on a TRACK, a Mustang should have wider in the front.

Hell, if they really wanted to do it right, the PP2 should come with 18" forged wheels. But I'd take the 4-square/wider front track set-up as a real step in the right direction.

Suddenly the PP2 just got a whole lot more interesting.
