Performance Pack vs non performance pack

[BrianGT2015]

What are the differences between the Mustang GT from 2015 and the performance pack Mustang GT from 2015? Mainly concerned about the manual transmission cars.

The PP has 6 piston brembo brakes on the front, a Torsen differential, an upgraded radiator, larger rear rims/tires, and some interior differences with additional gauges.

So does that mean only the Mustang GT with the performance package get them two extra gauges

Also has stiffer suspension and larger sway bars, if memory serves me. And the strut tower brace on the engine bay.

The EcoBoost PP also gets them

I think the Ecoboost PP had the extra gauges as well, though they are more for decoration as i think they had boost (vacuum on GT with no forced induction) and oil pressure. As cool as they are, not sure you would use those in most scenarios.

Clarification: They would be mostly for decoration on the GT, but useful in the Ecoboost to tell when you are in boost.

I kind of figurd the gauges where just for looks. I am looking at a 15 with low miles and cheap. Its a 6 speed. Just trying to see if its got the performance package.

does it have the front brembo brakes, strut tower brace, Performance pack black wheels......

 

[BrianGT2015]

I know it has the gauges and brace across the top of the engine. It has black wheels that cane it it. Can not tell if it has brembos...i can not make it out from the picture.

It has a metal tank for the coolant if that means anything. Its black with an m on it.

Also the PP comes w/ the Torsen 3.73 rear end vs. 3.55 on non-PP. They say the radiator is larger, although I can't tell by looking at it. I would prefer to stay w/ the 3.55 for slightly better mileage and lengthening out the gears a little, since it's not going to track (well, maybe once or twice!) but the price to change it back to a 3.55 will buy me a lots of gas, so not to hard to make the non-decision. Supposed to be a stronger anti-roll bar in back, not sure which one.
The gauges and the fish-scale dash panels are the visual badging to tell you it's a PP car. They add a really nice touch IMHO. So if you boost it and put a custom tuner on it, you can change out the gauge holes w/ custom gauges.
I think the biggest upgrade for the PP is the brake package if you're gonna track it or drive like a maniac on the road. Those brakes are incredible, a little grabby when cold, but you'll have no problem stopping that car at almost any speed.
