Yes, main reason would be to increase the force to the ground and up the effective torque.
Ideally, the Tremec + 3.73 would be better but then its the Dark Hor$e
Why not just get the PP?
$5000
Tries supplied are not really "performance"
Wheels not very nice, quite skinny, and heavy
"Drift" brake is a gimmick (to me)
Don't want a rear wing - prefer the clean look
Missing out on the front springs + K-brace (don't seem expensive to add)
Already got the...
Speedo will be off by a few MPH, not the end of the world.
70mph on the speedo will be 67mph in reality.
Acceleration should be more aggressive in all gear instead.
Car is lowered 0.6 inches.
Braking should be better.
Rotational inertia decreased in tires.
Smaller sidewall will feel bumps a bit more.
Fuel economy will suffer.
Drove the 3.73 Mach1 and it didn't feel snappy.
Below 3500 rpm, it could be any regular car and really comes to life 4500 and up.
I see folks with the S550 switching to 4.09 gears.
Swapping out the rear axle is a pain and a couple of local mechanics said they wont touch it as it will void the warranty and they don't want to be liable.
I would want the warranty myself.
The PP tires is actually larger than the stock rear tire and lowers the final ratio a bit.
PP rear tire
275 40
PP effective ratio is = 3.65 compared to stock
Looking at the MT82 vs Tremec ratios, its unfortunate that the gears are taller in with MT-82.
Ordered the manual non-PP GT with 3.55 gears with the Brembos.
Besides the fender gap (that can be lowered and speedo) would it be a bad idea to get smaller diameter tires?
Stock = 255-40 with 3.55...
Interestingly, the E39 m5 was very similar to the mustang.
5.0 v8, 6speed manual.
Slightly less power, Slightly less weight.
The interior was nice but not groundbreaking.
The audi R8 exclusive package had a beautiful interior!
At the end of the day, its a Ford. No one expects a Bentley...
The assist+ and adaptive cruise are useful, I got those together with the BnO.
Called the dealer to see if changing the order would delay it at this point. Its been a couple of weeks.
Having had a bunch of BMWs, including the e39 M5, I think the new ones looks hideous.
That 6sp manual was one...
Perhaps we should start another thread for Mustang vs BMW interior.
The question was to determine exactly what the difference is in the trim between the 400 and 401.
If nothing significant, that extra can go towards something else like a set wheels, tires, etc...
I'm hoping the GT "premium" DOES have a leather wrapped, soft touch, dash and center console and don't mind if the stitching isn't color matched.
Also, not a big fan of that stripped seatbelt.
