Have my 2019 GT with the pp1 for about 2 years now with 30000 miles on it. Still feels new to me everytime I drive it

[chndlrb]

Great video Steve! Very helpful! 🙏 Do you also happen to know what the ground clearance of a S550 PP1 is vs a regular S550 GT?

[silvertbird]

Extremely helpful, looking at a 2021GT with performance package for sale down the street and toying with the idea of trading my 2020 Ecoboost for it. This helped me decide not to do it as the package would basically be wasted. It seems a great package but it's really not something I'm going to use at this stage in life, and my Mustang is now my daily driver. Probably will still trade for a GT, but will look for one without PP. the Eco has been good but concerned about how the 2.3T will hold up over time.

I bought a new Ford Mustang gt PP; a delight every time I turn on this crazy engine .. there is one disadvantage is the shock to the suspension (magneride) when I pass the rails.

I had ordered a '21 GT w/PP and MagneRide in Antimatter blue in July of '21, but the dealer called to say that Ford was built out on the GT PP and would not be making any more, period! Oof. So I tracked one down with everything but MagneRide about 2:15 away and bought it. Such an amazing car, thrilled to death with it.

Also, as far as I know you cannot install MagneRide after the fact, the dealer said it would cost me basically a whole other car and parts would arrive piecemeal, etc, huge pain. Forget it.

Excellent review Steve.
Thanks for posting👍

3.55 with the A10 is plenty of gear once you factor in how steep the first gear ratio is in the transmission.

[pseguin]

This is the Exact video that I was looking for! Great info, thank you!! Just one question, once I order my car, can I switch the back tires to the same size as the front for longer usage and to rotate them? I am getting the 2022 Mustang GT premium with the Performance package.

[ecobeast]

Nice review. I have 2021 mustang gt performance pack 1 I love the car & next week I'm getting stage 2 roush supercharger

[amberlopez]

I'm buying the GT convertible, race red. There are so many options. I will get most of these. Thanks for the information. I was told unfortunately that the car will not be delivered, until after the summer. Because of computer chip shortages.

[jeffhammond]

Nice review. Here is my I like the Performance Pack BUT... I don't like the high performance spoiler.... so my question is, how difficult is it to have the spoiler removed and have a different spoiler attached?

[kellywahl]

Thanks for the review. I have some questions:

1. Will the dealership do the performance tune for that extra 50 points so the warranty isn't voided?
2. Would I need to upgrade any parts on the car with a tune like this? I do not intend to track the car.
3. Are there any simple and safe tuners that I could buy to tune the car for the 50 points you talk about?
4. If I received a tune from outside of the dealership or tuned the car myself, is it easy to take it back to stock before bringing it back to the dealership for maintenance?

Thank you again

[kellylemons]

Interesting that the Ford site was showing the pack for $4500. I've never seen it lately for less than $6250.

[CarlosFlores-xfsn]

my question would be if I get active valve exhaust i wonder if there’s aftermarket support through Borla or Corsa where that feature would still work?

[robertkennedy]

Steve, in the future, let's assume that people that watch your channel know why you would get a 3.55 vs a 3.73 differential. How about giving us the final drive ratios in the automatic 3.55 vs the 6-speed 3.73, as you know depending on how the transmission is geared they both could get the same gas mileage. In the 10 speed automatic 10th, 9th, and 8th are all overdrive gears which still gives you 7 gears to provide better acceleration than the 6-speed with the 3.73 differential. Your video is fine for a novice Mustang buyer but I find it lacking.

[ShawnGottii]

Debating on a 2021 pp gt if I get it I’ll be selling me challenger 5.7 shaker

[darthleia]

I am not sure if get a base premium or a used premium with the pp1 but they are hard to find Lol

[carlosortiz]

So is the performance pack faster than the premium?

[janschoone]

Hi. 460 or 480 HP with the GT Performance PKG?

[xGRMxREAPERx]

Right now is the worst time in history to get a new car. Almost no money off msrp. This same car last year had 8000 off msrp through a. Big dealer. DO NOT BUY, right now..
