Didn't stop me from buying this one today.

Kona Blue GT with black interior, manual transmission, premium plus, performance package 1, MagneRide, Active Exhaust, Safe & Smart, nickel wheels, spoiler delete, and the B&O sound system. 4.5 miles on the odometer when it came off the truck this morning. We added a few to that after I got to the dealership.

Paperwork's done, but with prep and registration (because you need to get real plates from the registry in MA), I won't be picking it up until Thursday. And since it's supposed to snow (but quickly melt) tomorrow, I'm good with that.

With all those cars over the years, hope you managed to keep a green plate (MA) so you don’t have to put one on the nose.
Good luck and great color, hope to see you around some of the Ma, shows.

Sadly, no. The one that had the green plate was totalled while parked, and the plate got turned in during the 6 week kerfuffle with the driver's insurance company.

We'll see. My wife keeps getting on my case about the Thursday night get togethers at Gillette at a minimum.

Go back and look carefully. Ford gives explicit information on the forces from the PP2 splitter / spoiler set, but nowhere will you find Ford saying that the PP1 spoiler has any effect.

https://media.ford.com/content/ford.../new-mustang-gt-performance-pack-level-2.html
"Using the splitter from the famed Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca as a benchmark, Mustang engineers attached the piece to the underside of the front to fan out as much as 3 inches around the corners of the Mustang GT. It creates about 24 pounds of downforce at 80 mph, helping give the car its exceptional grip. To balance the downforce, a subtle, redesigned rear spoiler stretches across the decklid."​
Want to wager on that ?
100 bucks say?

If I were in the market for a new mustang I'd buy one, but I wouldn't upgrade any 15-17 that wasn't in an accident for one.

How about you just post a link from Ford. That'll do.
How about you do your homework before posting incorrect info.
That'll do

Who told you that?
Ford says otherwise

Ah. You cannot document your claim of "Ford says otherwise" regarding the lack of effect of the PP1 spoiler. When asked to do so, you first do the "Wanna bet a $100?" nonsense, then the "Do your own homework" dodge, which translates to "I can't find anything."

So, you've got nothing, past really wanting the wing on the back of your car to be something other that cosmetic. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but it's all show, no go.

Asking someone else to do your homework for free is wasting your time?
Your sense of entitlement isn't an attractive quality.
Now ....posting false info is truly the waste of time here and does not lend itself well in taking anything out of your hole as valuable.

Peace out

I would never buy. The tick has been proven to effect 75% of new mustangs. With a 50% engine replacement ratio.
This.

Worst part is it will end up just like the BBQ tick. Ford will say "it's normal".

Dude, just stop. PP1 spoiler does absolutely nothing. Its 24 pounds of down force, if even that, at 120mph.

Hard numbers are PP2 information only, don't mix them into the PP1. Claims on the PP1 were never stated definitively. Here is the chief engineer stating "aero-neutral to the body of the car":



A little bit later he is careful to not say it doesn't add any downforce. "Don't want to create too much downforce".

Now the other two can stop clogging the thread with their bullshit.
