Does the PP equipped Mustang not perform as well at the drag strip as the non-PP equipped car if all else is the same? Thanks and sorry for being so long-winded.

The PP packs on around 70lbs of extra weight (*see the What Things Weigh thread) compared to the base model. The extra weight may not be desirable if you are a drag racer.
The base model will allow you to run 17 inch Racestar front rims for your skinnies unlike the PP which needs a 18 inch front rim due to the larger front brakes. This helps save a few lbs of rotational weight.

For the 3.73 PP guys, are you shifting into 5th near the end of the 1/4 mile?

This guy ran well with his 3.55 MT:

I work from home and only drive about 8,000 per year. I have always preferred a manual in a sports car. I don't really have to deal with traffic very much so that isn't really a factor for me. I have plenty of time to figure things out before I pull the trigger. I appreciate everyone's input.
