GT Performance Package Actual

[Detector]

Looks like 34 lbs in favor of the non-PP for a gain of 0.1 in the 1/4 mile.

FWIW Unless I missed someone else posting it, you only show the PP base wheel color. You can upgrade to silver (Ford calls it nickle).

• Upsized Rear Sway Bar How much is it upsized?......

The GT/PP rear sway bar is 22.2 mm diameter.
GT (Non-PP) is 21.7 mm.
GT350 rear sway bar is 22.2 mm (Same as GT/PP).
GT350R rear sway bar is 24 mm diameter.

I 100% agree, in my opinion, the performance package is worth every penny.

The simple fact that Ford holds the PP package only for Manual cars is almost unbelievable in the "big corporate" world.....same for the GT350 and former GT500.
And yes, before anyone chimes-in with the performance benefits of current automatic transmissions.....I am aware. Porsche learned this lesson when they went PDK only with the GT3...it was the "fastest" combination but much of their customer base howled in protest....so guess what is a no-cost option on the current GT3?

Glad that you can get a PP in 2018 with an Auto Trans.

I think the new auto transmission will be a good match for it.

No- it is called marketing. Ford made a big deal about the 50th anniversary Limited Editions having PP on the automatic GT car and it being an EXCLUSIVE to that car.

If you wanted auto with PP you should have bought one of those LEs.

2018 is a redesign and a 'new' car thus Ford can now market the PP with the auto for it.

Don't mean to be harsh but Ford is not as stupid as many internet hero's think it is. There is almost always a well (?) though out business reason behind a plan. Folks need to open their eyes and minds and look for the big picture sometimes.
