PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[Rapid Red]

I'll bet $$$ it does, the vin tracks, or is a reference for parts.. My Crystal ball says yes it does.

Suppose you damaged the splitter, common part for the 350/500. Parts guy ask for the vin, sees the splitter, hands you the part.

He does not have the sfuffle the deck going to a 350/500 catalog section to find want you need. Does not even have a need to know a 350/500 from a VW.

Does the PP2 have a letter designator in the VIN that separates it from the standard GT if looking by VINs only?

No, the build code has the PP2 option in it, I think 67N. I will look when I get back to the office.

Our parts guys ask for the VIN so that they can pull up your exact build, helping prevent wrong parts from being ordered. The VIN is key to opening up everything about your car, all inside the Ford computer system.

True, another advantage to the process. When or if a part design changed in the middle of the year. They will have the exact replacement for the vin. The concept was introduced as a standard late 90's or so. Early 90's buying OEM parts, prefix make, model & year.

The option codes are not in the VIN, but through a Ford computer it will list it.

This topic of PP2 parts recognition has been discussed earlier in this thread or another I believe but this is a more descriptive explanation than I've seen so thanks for the info PorscheDude. But I do wish the PP2 option was a part of the VIN itself, if nothing else for clarity.
I think the take away is with OE products or dealers we'll need to specify, ask and confirm that the salesperson is actually looking at the PP2 option. In my industry there's a lot of newer folks doing parts and they either don't know, haven't learned or been taught to look at the option levels/serial numbers/etc and thats when mistakes are made so we've learned to ask and ask again.

HUH, not in there but is listed ? Are you talking about the code (401A) used when ordering the car. However that is the equipment group.

The real meat & patios has no code: Simple lists as Performance Package-level-2 Some part of the vin needs to connect the dots: Performance Package-level-2 & vin ?

I am guessing many of you have not seen the order guide that we use to build and order cars. I have attached the order guide that I used to build and order my 2019 Mustang GT PP2. I chose the 301A package to keep the gauges analog and the seating material cloth. You will see the PP2 Option is coded 673 and you will see what it includes. I built this as a drivers / track car with as little nanny controls as possible. The PP2 was new in Canada for 2019 model year.

...I built this as a drivers / track car...

Same here:
Kona Blue
301A
Performance Pack 2
Active Valve Exhaust
Recaro Seats

If I decide to swap out to a Mach 1 it will be similar:
600A
Handling Package
Recaro Seats
The hardest part is usually color.

Out of curiosity, when you order one like that, do you setup financing ahead and begin paying when you receive the vehicle? Just curious how the money side works.

I won't be of much help here. I told the dealer what I wanted and they found it for me at another dealer and had it delivered to them on a truck.

I ordered the car and waited 5 months for it to arrive. I knew ahead of time how much I would be paying for my lease but the payments do not start until you take possession of the car and it is registered and insured in your name, and reported sold to Ford.

Very interesting, looks nothing like what I was presented with. A better option for sure.

Delivery time was the same, ordered Nov, driving Apr..

Seems like it would be some parts are pp2 only.
