Yup got it. Also already have the stock 9.5 rears on all 4 corners.
maybe but you could add coolers and all and get your PP2 up to a Mach 1 for much less than a Mach 1.
Even less than that if youre just buying it for track use.
I had the Tremec in my GTO and the MT82-D4 in my PP2. I donāt see all the hurt thatās put on the Getrag. If anything, the Getrag is more crisp entering the gates than the Tremec. And, I had the JHP short throw on the Tremec whereas the Getrag is stock. I donāt feel Iāve lost a thing on the transmission, other than maybe a little different gearing on the MT82-D4, although it has its pros (street driving) and cons (track).are you saying the tremec is comparable to the mt82(d4)?
careful playing with fire man.
Yes. They have similar power ratings both are as durable. The biggest change is that the tremec has no lift shift (which 18+ cars WERE listed to have but Ford never actually did it, assholes), gearing that's more of a compromise between the 15-17 and 18-21 MT82 versions and a better shifter.are you saying the tremec is comparable to the mt82(d4)?

.It may be somewhat but the system responds to all the various sensors on the car so changing wheels doesn't seem to affect it much. It probably just changes some of the data coming from certain sensors and then the system just reacts accordingly.Isn't the PP2 suspension tuned for the wheels as well? Someone smarter than me should jump in
Iām still pissed that I couldnāt get PPL2 with my Ecoboost... the online builder kept forcing me to have a V8 and that was not what I was looking for in my commuter car. The better handling and brakes would have come in handy every day, but the extra HP would have been tough. Iāll have her built here shortly, but it has taken me 3 years to get there. Itās a great package to live with on a daily basis.
The 1,500 quoted by Ford was due to the late entry into the 2018 marketplace (early 2018 v. late 2017 for other 2018 models). I can only imagine that Ford felt safe in producing only 1,500. If they never moved off the dealer lots, it becomes a one & done deal. Since they (apparently) did sell, Ford continued producing them until the big purge last year (PP2, Bullitt & GT350).
When I had my PP2, normal driving was fine however, I noticed in more spirited driving that the getrag would make a synchro noise (sounded like griding). I tried slowing down shifts, faster shifts, delayed clutch engagement and nothing would eliminate it.
Damn, Chris. That's a fine upgrade from PP2 to GT500. You in NOVA?When I had my PP2, normal driving was fine however, I noticed in more spirited driving that the getrag would make a synchro noise (sounded like griding). I tried slowing down shifts, faster shifts, delayed clutch engagement and nothing would eliminate it.
However, it did shift each and every time and I never had any issues with it. I am not sure if it was a synchro issue or simply that the transmission itself was just noisy.
The engagement and shifting overall was nice, it was the scratching noise that always made me a bit concerned. However, I ended up trading in, so I have no idea if it was simply noise or an actual issue. I do recall reading that some had issues with the transmission.
The PP2 was great, aside from the tramming, it was overall a great car and of course the handling was incredible with the Cup 2's when they were warm. The only bad thing is if you are buying it for a daily driver, you will want to either budget for new tires immediately as the Cup 2's are good for 8K miles? Or buy a second set of rims with street tires.
Here's a pice of my PP2 when I picked up at Cowles.
Well....I went from the PP2 to a 2019 Z06 (I wanted a GT500 but the ADM's were just too high, so I gave up) ...a year later ADM's started to taper off and I found my current GT500 and still made money on the Z06.
