Comes with:1Strut tower brace.2larger front and rear SVT bar3unique front springs4Unique front and rear calipers with performance friction pads 519quot; painted aluminum wheels6Summer tires7Unique stability control calibration8Gloss black side mirrors93.31 rear axleAlthough this is a lot for $1,995.00, I don't see how this will be much of an upgradeThe V6 without the performance package tested 0-60 in 5.9 secondsThe V6 with the performance package tested 0-60 in 5.8 secondsThat's a tenth of a second difference(and although a lot in racing) do you really think 2 grand is worth a tenth of a secondThe only other benefits I can see besides speed is smoother turns (control)But other than that, it seems like the package is not worth itWhat do y'all think?????
I paid $23,500 for my 'Race Red' Base V6 Manual with the Performance Package and let me just say, this car is so worth the money!!! A couple of points: The 3.31 Limited Slip Axle ratio with the 6 Speed Manual Gearbox makes a big difference with performance versus the Automatic with the 2.73 AxleAlso, the Dual Exhaust is different and has different part numbers than the Dual Exhaust on the Automatic equipped MustangI have not rented a Mustang (Automatic) yet but one blog I read stated that there is a big difference in the sound of the Manual versus the AutomaticAlso, if you look inside the tips of the Manual Exhaust the openings are larger (no inserts)Long story short if you can shift and if you don't drive in Stop and Go traffic too much, you owe it to yourself to get the Manual as it sounds better and is quickerFinally, I priced the exact Pirelli P Zero tires and they run $352 EACH at Tire RackAdd in the 19 inch rims, better brakes, sway bars, strut tower brace and Motor Cover (another Manual advantage) as well as the 3.31 Limited Slip Axle, this may be the best car value of all time in 'todays dollars'Now, I need to go bark the tires hard going into second gear and chirp em again in third just for fun :)
