PP2?

[gadgtfreek]

For like $5 you can run the vin and get the original window sticker. If the dealer doesn't offer it, I do that before every purchase.

Love my PP2! Wouldn't trade it for anything, maybe not even GT500. Handles absolutely flat even a 1G. Super brakes. Anything less is a secretary car.

Beautiful car, lines are IMO much better than the catfish look. OP check the vin that will tell you all.
Otherwise, it's a want-to-be.

Well it’s easy to add the PP2 wheels and spoiler. Not sure about the rear spoiler.

That's correct

You can for free on many websites too.

All signs point to yes on this being a PP2. I completely agree that the salesman wouldn't know. When I found my PP2 at Carmax they had ABSOLUTELY no idea what they had. The rear spoiler is PP2 specific along with the wheels and front splitter. The car is a legit race car that handles everyday life very well! Especially if you don't mind rowing gears.

I did a bunch of research into spotting a PP1 + magna and PP2 based on looks and common online photos. While it is best to run the VIN for a window sticker, a close second is checking the driver door VIN code. If the VIN has a SPR (spring code) of VVNV then its almost certainly PP2. PP1 with magnaride have a SPR code of ZZ9U. PP1 have a SPR of JJHH.
A VIN code of VVNV combined with the rims , additional front splitter , rear spoiler would be pretty much 100% without the window sticker. But if you are going to drop $45k get the sticker.

For the record, I also love my PP2. I think I saw that only 5% of mustangs were PP2.

Same. Vroom had my loaded PP2 with 8k mi listed for less than some PP1 cars with more mileage

Recaro’s are not PP2 specific so that doesn’t matter. It could be a customer car and not for sale or a car that was just sold. Why not just ask the dealer?

Ditto on your remark! I had the pleasure of owning a PP2 that was nothing but an entry-level GT with the PP2 package being the only option.... huge bang for the buck!

Unless you trade it in for a GT350??

My opinion, not enough of an upgrade for the $...

I was extremely blessed in finding one that sat on the lot for almost a year. I was able to purchase it $15k below sticker around the start of the pandemic.

The PP2 is an excellent car but the driving experience is a difference between night and day!I never had so much fun driving a car, even on slow twisties. It is my dream car that has exceeded any expectations that I had, and being offered at the price of a premium GT PP2, it was a no brainer to go for the upgrade.

Agreed I’d prefer a Mach 1 with all the upgrades for a discount. At least it has the engine that won’t kill it self.

Easiest way to confirm it's a PP2 is to check the tire sticker. PP2 is 305/30r19 squared and the only Mustang to come that way.

This. Here's my door tag.

What about the CF dash trim? Is that PP2-only?

I wanted this trim after seeing the posted numbers (plus didn't want to hassle any Shelby's potential engine issues):

Yep the 305/30R19 are another clue. It’s really hard to read those numbers on the sticker online sometimes though. I found the spring code was easier, if the listing even includes the VIN sticker
