I believe the PP spoiler has holes in the trunk. So if you remove it, will need to find one that retrofits onto it.

I suppose the decklid is just stuck on.

Just makes the rear end look fat I think.

No, its additional for that.

You can't get MR wothout the PP as far as I know.

I had MR on an R8, leaked after a few years and very expensive to replace.

I feel good old fashioned suspension or coilovers are more simple and predictable.

Easier to modify a non MR mustang too.

I know the PP spoiler will have holes, I'm wondering if the non-PP spoiler has those same holes underneath so I can add one myself. I think I'm going to skip PP.

Don't know. I would guess it doesn't.

Reading these posts is why I ordered a PP Dark Horse. I made the mistake of not getting a Z06 corvette, and added tons of performance parts, but at the end of the day, it still isn't a Z06. Same here, you can add all that stuff, but at the end of the day it still isn't a PP car.

The PP is not a terrible deal. Esp considering the parts are on the car and no additional labor (yours or paid ) is needed.

I can't say I agree.

the z06 is a huhe upgrade. Similarly, I had an E39 M5 that was not comparable to the bmw 5bseries of that time.

for the mustang, Its the same car basically except for a handful of parts, the brakes being the most Important, which you can get.

The tires are marginally better, suspension a bit different, and a drift brake.

If it was a PP2 or a tremec, then it would be a no brainer.

"PP car" has a lot more marketing value in my opinion.

The suspension seems to only have a few different parts and not a complete overhaul if I'm not mistaken.
Front springs and rear sway bar.

Right… lol at Z06 to PP comps.

if PP gave us a 5.4 stroker etc you could maybe say that.

Even the DH isn't all that different with the exception of the Tremec.

Power to weight is actually lower on the DH.

Sure its got big tires and upgraded suspension.

The C7 vs Z06 is a different car altogether!

Is the regular blade spoiler just stuck on with 3m tape or will it also have the drilled holes if I decide to add an OEM/aftermarket spoiler after the fact?
The blade spoiler is not just a stick on, it has the exact same holes as the PP spoiler.
