MSRP of Base HPP with handling package and MSRP of base GT is almost exactly the same, my window sticker says $36,725. Mind you that's a zero option car that most people won't want (even though in reality it's not any less comfortable or livable), but still. Maybe you're thinking of a base Premium?Not true, base HPP with Handling Package $36,250. Base GT with Magneride $45,965. Even if you take out the Magneride, the base GT is $4k more.
Either way I think the HPP is cool, and it's unfair to judge the car when it hasn't even gotten half way through break-in yet. For all we know Ford put a power/boost limit on the car until it hits a certain amount of miles. GM is doing that with the C8, you can't go close to redline until at least 500 miles. There's also traction considerations, Ford's OEM tires aren't the best, and traction control will silently pull power if it starts detecting wheel spin. In most real life situations an HPP auto is probably faster than a base GT 6MT, with the exception of a highway rolling pull or a 5-60 without anyone using launch control.
