Base GT info/vids?

[Emt1581]

Me too,when I buy performance cars I try to buy the fastest model.In the GT that is:base,auto 3.55. I dont go around in circles unless I'm lost.

How much heavier is the Performance Pack by comparison?

Thanks

I tried to buy not necessarily the *fastest* but the most performance oriented options available. Base with performance pkg and recaros. Id be interested how much lighter a base car is vs a premium. I'd imagine the recaros are a bit lighter too. Neither would likely be significant weight savings but I'd still like to know.


I kinda wish the base would've been more base. I'd like manual Windows, mirrors, locks. Like the mud 90s base cars.

But what's the cost/benefit of that? In my experience they last pretty long, are pretty convenient, and the motor/wiring weight seems nominal...so not sure that'd make any real difference in performance.

It's not about the financial cost or the convenience benefit . . .

I have a base model with PP. My mustang is not a DD so no need for all that fancy stuff. Bought my car back in may 2015 and so far i only have 1k miles on it.

I only upgrade to the tomtop unit for gps which was an easy upgrade thats about it.

Neither was the rest of my post...

It's not about any possible decrease in weight or the associated (and largely theoretical) increase in performance either.

What it is about is getting today's performance undiluted by all of today's features and luxuries. Maybe it's about the 'character' of the car having more in common with old-time hotrodding, standing in opposition to the "why not have it all?" thinking that is all too prevalent these days.

I can see that. I got mine as a summer only, take to the track several times a year, fun car. I really kind of wish I could just start with a very basic car, check off the big motor, manual trans, big brakes and performance suspension with absolutely nothing else. I bought this car to drive, not to get me from point A to B. But I also understand not everyone is like me.

So far I am loving my Base GT with PP though. Just wish winter would stop so I can drive it some more.
