That's a good point but I think styling and practicality is more of an issue for Camaro vs Mustang. I know styling is personal preference, but I honestly find the Camaro exterior styling way more polarizing. The sight lines are terrible in the car and that reason alone may scare buyers away.
Agreed, especially since everyone in their mother has access to a wind tunnel. :lol:
Ford knows what they are doing. 99% don't need transmission or differential cooling. Hell, there has been no mention of either being a problem on the PP1 at the track as of yet. Transmission and differential cooling sounds good...until you realize you don't need either. I have never felt short changed by my PP1 not having a trans or diff cooler.
I believe there have been reports of 2016+ GTPP's having diff over-temp conditions.
Data like this doesn’t exist, but just tire size alone will give drag over the gtpp. So no I don’t have data, but common sense is there. What data is there on drag with the gtpp?:cheers:
Diff coolers are needed on these cars, or frequent change intervals. They get HOT.
Yep. I just change it frequently, but then again, I'm in the 5% who track their car semi regularly at a decent level.
If they test a GT w/PP1vs a GT w/PP2 I suspect you will see similar results for the 1 mile test.
If there were...they were very few and far between, or else you would hear about it like you did on the GT350. I would assume the flogged the new PP1 pretty well at the track, and the new head to head didn't mention a thing about any issues.
It's all over the tracking sub forum and other more track focused forums. The difference is there is no trigger to limp mode. It simply dings the warning for the diff temp.
I'd say you're one of the 2% (or less). Honestly, Ford is smart to leave off diff coolers. I know it sucks for people like you, but you aren't their target audience.
Oh I absolutely get why they don't have them, I agree. Minimal return on that per unit investment.
So, Ford actually seriously considered the trans and diff coolers for the GT PP. They decided against it as it was a ~$300 cost hit. I'd argue that it should've been an option or standard on the PP only, even if it increased the price of the PP by $500. I also agree that it absolutely should be on the PP2 cars, and that it's a serious miss to not include them on a package with only one intention.
Totally understand.Oh I absolutely get why they don't have them, I agree. Minimal return on that per unit investment.
It'd just be nice to have them since the competition does, and I wouldn't have to pay to add them.
No I haven't yet, I'm doing frequent diff fluid replacement. Did it at 9k miles, then last year before the season started, and I'll do it this spring, and I'm upping it to 2 replacements this year adding one mid year since I'm upping my suspension mods.
