PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[NitishMudgal]

That was a good idea. I just don't understand how to measure the Tire tread on Cup2s, they are super sticky so basic tread measurement shouldn't hold true for these.

Hey! I can't seem to find these official wheel weights. Thank you for the info as I am looking for same spec new wheels that are MUCH lighter. Do you happen to have a link you found those official numbers for? I don't doubt you but I just would love to see the official link. I wish they were lighter as I love the wheel. Thanks!

I'm going off the shipping weight for the Black version from Ford performance.

I don't have a PP2 car, yet. Will be either ordering that or a Mach 1 if they come out with it for next year.

but, how hard would it be to swap out the standard seats for a 401A car with a recaro? Would prefer the standard seats for DD use and recaro at the track

I was thinking the Ford PP2 wheels might be worth the extra $650 until I saw the Made in China. I think I'll stick with SVE2 wheels. They're lighter and made in America. Besides, I'll be using them for all season tires, so it's not like I'll be beating the crap out of them.

Just picked my PP2 about a week ago. Currently at about 250 miles. Anyone heard slight popping noise when turning the wheel full lock during a cold start? Happens when I back out and sometimes when moving forward. I'm chalking it up to the cold tires but I just want to make sure. Anyone have this issue?

Nice ride! I would guess the popping just might be the spring settling or clocking. If guess it will go away, have someone turn it while you are outside with the hood up and listen.

Thanks! Would it be something I should be concerned about? It goes away after I've driven a few minutes.

Yeah with the stock wheels/tires I always got a pop when turning the wheel all the way (like when backing out of a parking spot or something)

I think its just the tires. those sport cup 2's are intense.

This! Yes I have had it happen with the Cup 2's. Cold outside and turned almost full lock and POP. Only one time and since changing them out I have not had it happen. I also baby the locking turn when cold right after start up.

Phew I'm glad I'm not the only one that it's happened to. I thought I was going crazy

What I have noticed coming into driveway if I have the car in track or drag mode it will make a clicking noise. Can't remember which mode I was in. I backed out and put it in normal mode pulled in again no clicking.

Here are some of my thoughts on PP2:

I love the car!!!!! It is not a common trim and I enjoy that.

First of all, let's discuss the OEM shifter. I tracked the car at M1 Concourse in Michigan. I was constantly getting locked out of third gear and had to take the shifts slow. I have since replaced the shifter with MGW xspec and BG Syncro Shift II gear oil. All I can say is wow. Haven't tracked since either..... While replacing the shifter I noticed a two piece driveshaft. That is on the list to be replaced with a solid DS.

The tires do track in the road. I have a gravel pit by my house and you have to hold on tight. This car (well really the tires) is not a car to take on long trips. The comfort modes really help, but I'm going to replace the tires asap and save them.

Besides the shifter, the second compliant is how the rear tire looks in the wheel well. It is not proportionate in size. I need to figure out what size to go up to.

I have driven a lot of cars and this is so much fun to drive.

Ordering a JLT intake as I type.......

Randall. Bye.

Just picked up mine on Tuesday 2019 GT premium with magnaride and active exhaust. I love the sound of this car. Shopping for tires now and looking for the best deal I don’t think I’ll keep these OEM ones on long . Maybe a nitto or continental.

 

[Prokiller]

can't go with 325/30 rears. i love the michelin 4S for DD use.

Would you describe the sound like a "tink" metal sound?

Driving impressions below:

Pros

• awesome engine and exhaust sound..too achieve this sound on my 15 I had to bolt on an AIR RAID and xpipe.
• handles well in tight turns ..only 471 miles so far so still breaking in the sport cups
• seems like more cabin room then again I coming from a 2017 C7 2 seater
• Stereo is awesome as well as navigation system and guages

I switched to the MGW x-spec and loved it. Have't had an issue yet with it. Also, the tires overall diameter is smaller than most of the tires that come on the Mustangs. Almost an inch smaller in OD, this is where part of the lowering comes from but also, this means the tires look smaller in the wheel wells. A 305/35/19 would be closer to the overall diameters of most of the other tires that come on the mustangs, would fill the wheel wells out more, but would also raise the car up to the height of other mustang trims.

I'm planning on going with 305/30/19 front and 325/30/19 rear tires when I replace my Cup 2's come spring time. I considered going taller in diameter to the 35 but I may just stay at 30 and enjoy the ~ half inch lower the car sits compared to other trim models.
