Well tall since you haven't done anything yet, jump into all the threads on TMO and get some ideas for the Trackrats swarming around this cornacopia of Tech and Racing info. We all have plenty of ideas , most are pretty good, but the best thing is one can learn a lot about your personal beast from many others who have similar Stangs. Guarantee you will find some good friends too, and many you will meet at track events ----- always good to have a friend nearby to help, advise , or in some cases to help you learn a track they are very well accustomed to.

The PP2 , to me, is one of the best bargains in the US for a price friendly , but very capable track/autocross machine!!

Hey there!
I actually am selling the PP2 tomorrow and getting a 2019 GT350 with Recaros and handling pack! I agree, the PP2 is great for the money.

Well, fantastic , you will be one Happy Camper today, and the differences will pop up in interesting ways. Did you find a leftover new one, or is this one that is lightly used ? Either way , post pics , and drop a Build Thread on us soon. You might even be reading this early this am, as we all know you got very little sleep, haha!!

Haha, how did you know?
It’s a slightly used one 2700 miles

I’m not usually into white stripes but getting a good deal on it from a private seller.

Great looking and the plus is you will be able to go supersonic at 8250 rpms much sooner ---------like today!!!! You will find your butt-o-meter telling you to shift in the same area as the PP2, as it feels quite normal and stout, but, wind the mutha up to the sky, you will be ready to fly, - a low level pilot you shall be. The revs make for some new developments on track , because there can be areas where she will pull so strong and high in third ,you may not need to shift up----- same situation with high speed in 4th and 5th may not be desired. Not saying you won't be rowing the gears , but those extra rpms will give you fantastic flexibility at some tracks!
