PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[Stang 19]

No on the Recaros. Sticker was just over $50k on it. Def running a CarFax. Im an out of state buyer so that makes it a bit more complicated.

You may also want to review your states policy for registering an out-of-state vehicle . California has pretty strict limits and would require a smog even on a brand new vehicle purchased and brought in from out of state . I’m guessing that the vehicle is 100% stock no modifications whatsoever ? One thing to look for is if the previous owner flashed a performance tune and then flashed it back to stock if you have some kind of a serious warranty issue a dealer can tell if it was flashed and deny you a warranty .

One thing I would add is to check the rear quarter door jambs/window trim lines/trunk gutters/inside door seams for any tape/masking lines from body work.
This is something I always do and tell others to do when looking at a used car because Carfax is obviously not a be-all end-all, and only collisions and repair work reported to insurance/gone through insurance will be there.
Sometimes people will pay out of pocket for cosmetic body repair, and this will never show on the reports.
However, if you really take a fine-tooth comb approach, you will see if a car was repaired, despite what a Carfax shows. I've been able to prove this a handful of times to some friends when I went to check some cars with them.

Great thread! Figured I would ask this here since you all are the PP2 experts.

Been looking for lightly used 19. Found one; Shadow Black, 401a, PP2, Active Exhaust, B&O system with 6,000 miles. Private sale and ask is $36k. This seems like a very fair asking and potentially great deal if the car checks out. Leftover 19s but 400 package are around $40k plus tax.

Any thoughts?

36K is a good price as long as car shows no sign of crash or major repair.of course 34 or 35 would better


Seriously though , good luck on purchase if you Get it .

I would also consider a new 301A. For me The 12 inch instrument cluster was crucial when I was looking but I seeing a lot of guys 15 -17 MY upgrading to that dash and even using the Bullitt software to make it more special.

I chose 401 a with active and b and o. I could have probably saved some $$$ if I went 301a with no active. I did not want Recaros but I wanted heated /cooled seats.

since I picked up mine I changed exhaust to Borla cat back and wish the exhaust stayed in sport plus mode all the time.

also could have easily changed the cloth seats to leather katzkin which I will do anyway this summer.

whatever you decide ,check back here for great conversation and advice when you get on the road.

Just hit 950 miles today on my 19 , installed an Air Raid cold air intake took about 2 hours. This was my third Air-raid.. my 2015 PP1 had one and my 17 F-150 still has one ( don’t ask why....and it’s an ecoboost)

‘Got this one from CJ pony parts Presidents’ Day special.save about $70.00 using coupon and reward points..took them 2 weeks to get it to me though.

Very pleased with quality of kit and everything was included. I used a video from American Muscle from YouTube but it was a little misleading on the sound tube removal.

Below are a few pics:

Awesome! What does the butt-dyno say? Are you getting a tune?

Lol..the butt -dyno says I gained 1/2 second in the quarter mile.. Seriously though no tune planned but I am working on a power adder (supercharger) and headers next.

Another member here recommended Akins Ford in GA for the install. I am working on the logistics for Maytime frame.

Do the PP2’s have a specific letter within the VIN that designates it as a true PP2?

the digital cluster is a must have on my list from day one. being in AZ i like the look and idea of the 301a cloth seats, but not enough to skip the cluster. much thanks.

That's a good question. From a cursory investigation, no, but the information could be somewhere in digits 4-8.

If you're looking for a quick way to verify if a car was PP2 from the factory, check the door jamb sticker. It'll show the 305 tire size, which was only available with PP2.

I could not find it either. I think it is not defined as a unique car.
In all, a PP2 is just a package for a Mustang GT.

Is there any way to determine any other package via the VIN? No.

Can you see if it was a Premium GT or has a Premium sound system? No

I think only ford retains the build information as it is tied to VIN.

Any one here have any pics of the G350R wing on their PP2 car?
Mine just arrived today from Anderson composites..waiting on a new trunk lid before I install.

Be sure to post pictures when you're done. I'd like to see it.

Here is a pick of my ‘18 PP2 with the Anderson Wing.

That's just a bit more aggressive than the stock PP2 spoiler!

Looks really good on the red car.

thanks Geo...that is just what the doctor ordered

that red looks awesome....did you use a new Trunk lid or have a shop fill the holes from the stock wing?
