Trying to find out whether or not there is an acceleration / 1/4 mile difference between just a base 18+ A10 GT vs the performance pack level 1 / 2. Is it worth it to upgrade the base 300A to the 301A? Or is it something that wont matter once the vehicle gets tuned. Thanks for any input and sorry if it's a stupid question lol

Yes, a 301A GT with 3.15's and drag mode is quicker than a 300A PP1 car. I have a 300A PP1 and kinda kick myself for not getting a 301A PP1, but at the time I did not realize how much quicker drag mode is.

You can get a drag mode tune or the drive modes can be added for less than the 2-grand Ford option but it's simpler just to get one with the 301A option.

The A-10 355 non- PP cars a lighter and faster. The 301a package is the best bang for the buck unless you want leather.

With the manuals id say no (if you have traction with whatever tires you are using), with autos yes since drag mode

it is unless you you're going to get a tune to include it. Ford's claims of stock (no tune or bolt ons) 3.8 0-60 and sub 12 sec 1\4 mile requires launching in drag mode among other things.
