It's actually slower. The 3.55 rear ratio picks up like 2 tenths in the quarter at least. The PP GT just feels tighter and nicer to drive in every way compared to a base car. I've been slowly adding PP stuff to my base car to rectify that problem, lol.

It's almost always worth it to get the performance pack, just do it. You'll thank yourself later. Even if you don't think you'll get much use out of any of the individual components, they all work together to add a lot of handling and general improvements. The torsen rear end for example is...
I'll give it two years, if it happens at all. The 18-21 kit wasn't too popular due to the cost and the relatively mild gains, and Ford doesn't want to dilute their special editions too soon. Now that the intake has been revised, there probably won't be much more to it than a filter change and...
It's interesting these newer engines will have lower peak torque than gen 3 as well. Wonder if they have harder efficiency limits to meet now. At least the steel oil pan is coming back lmao
This is a good thing, lol. Not wasting time in the tune to accommodate for shitty fuel means it should just feel better all the time. It's like getting the previous power packs for free.
IMO the twin disc in the 18+ MT82 is actually amazing, assuming you have a unit that isn't crippled from the get go. I'd rather have a tremec, but other than the clattering noise sometimes its one of the best factory clutches I've ever used.
What I really want is a Tremec TR6060 like what the...
Anyway, to stay on topic, I'm actually liking the standard lights more because they have more visual complexity. But it will probably depend on the color. If that yellow car had the black accent lights I might have a different opinion.
I hope they do that as well, but I think if they do, they're gonna have to upgrade the 5.0 somewhat, or perhaps drop in a naturally aspirated version of the 5.2 with a cross plane crank. If they put the Voodoo in the regular GT going forwards then that would be the one situation where I'd have...
