I have this battle in my head frequently. But I just want the best driving experience. I may get on the track once a year, but if the car feels better as I’m cruising around on my daily drives is the PP worth it to me? Hard to say that it’s not worth it. I wouldn’t want to regret not getting it but that’s a problem I have I guess. I wouldn’t probably option for CCBs anyway. Had a CF gt500 and the wheel dust was crazy. Would be nice to not have the wheels dusted to death 30 minutes after washing it then going on a drive. Also, the PP will ride much more luxurious then the mustang anyway
Ironically, I opted for the CCBs, so I was already halfway to the PP price.
I don’t regret the CCBs for one second. I love a clean car, and cleaning wheels always sucks.
Regarding ride quality: reports from actual users of the PP package, who have owned 22-24 5BWs: the ride is harsher, even in touring mode. Search the forum for that.
Another side benefit of not getting the PP: I was able to immediately address the fender gap with existing lowering springs. There are no aftermarket lowering spring sets (yet?) for the PP.
And I have a dedicated race car for track work, so I never planned on tracking this car. I hardly get to 10/10s on the street as is, so why add handling costs with wet weather issues.
3k miles on my 2025, 0 regrets about not getting the PP.
