Other pro's and con's of the Performance Pack?

Maybe some HIIT.

Yeah yeah....believe it or not I am starting to work out again after taking a year off. Definitely need to lose 20-30lbs. But I highly doubt it's going to make me like the Recaro's any better. ;)

I'm an averaged build guy 6'1 195lbs and the Recaro's side bolsters didn''t feel good, IMO. They need to be adjustable.

This made me chuckle and remember my 89 Shelby Daytona. The power seat in that car drove me batty because it had so many adjustments, if there was ever a poster child for memory seats that car was it.

Besides the typical forward/backward, up/down and seat back angle it had pneumatic lumbar & thigh support, angle adjustment on the seat base plus the bolsters on the seat base and back were adjustable. It would take me 20 minutes to get it back to feeling the same after my wife drive it.

One con I found with the performance pack....maybe it's just me, but does the larger radiator take longer to warm up by a noticeable margin? I know it's bigger and it'd make sense. On the test drive, the GT 3.31 seemed to warm up pretty immediately. My PP takes longer.

I dont think coolant temp is read at radiator and it shouldn't affect warm up times. Maybe a different thermostat in pp gt's??

The radiator shouldn't even be used until the engine is up to temp unless the thermostat is stuck open.

Wat.

 

[strengthrehab]

Wat.

He us saying until the thermostat opens, th radiator us just a " holding tank" for the coolant. Once the thermostat opens, water flows from radiator to block then back to radiator to get cooled.

Is this not common sense?

Pro - Brembos, 3.73's, Suspension and Wheels.

Con - Higher Initial Price

If you're going to DIY, it may be slightly cheaper to do it yourself but for the headache I would have gone through. I said no thank you.

Right. And aside from the gearing, sure I can install struts, calipers, pads, rotars, etc...but for the quality level the PP gives, and since I'm getting it cheaper by buying used anyway....why not??

As much as I love the PP package I love my non-PP CO 6-spd premium GT more.

Less IS more in this case. Car is just as fast if not faster with the lighter rims/tires, better as a DD hands-down, and I'm missing nothing other than the words Brembo, some horrible summer-only tires (sorry the PP tires suck - if I'm going with a performance tire it's going to be a set of Michelin PSS's).

Sounds like you're pretty jealous that you couldn't be part of the elite performance pack master race. It's ok, not everyone has a 6 pack.

Valid point. Never drove a pp GT but only a non PP GT... Ended up ordering an EB WITH the PP(cant afford gt yet) which essentially adds to the base EB the goodies on the base GT. To me they seemed like a must amd dont think will negatively impact DD....
