I have driven a S550 Mustang GT PP quite extensively. I almost sold my 2013 M3 for one cause I am sick of $900.00 per month payments. I felt my M3 was way more buttoned down than the S550 Mustang GT with PP. I know that may not translate to actual times being put down but the M3 felt some much more buttoned down.

Ford of lately has been IMHO under damping these cars. I don't know why they do this.

I agree Dave. It seems like the lowspeed damping and body control of the GTPP is very similar to the base GT (not enough), although it does ride stiffer on the street. After driving a 2015 GT with KW coilovers, the chassis is quite good and A LOT more composed, responsive, and fun.

Now the GT350 should be a lot more buttoned down in stock form.

American muscle with German suspension - sounds like a winning combo!

That's my next move: buy a set of V3s and PSSs. Should be quite the transformation.

I should have said, rental vehicles. Car rental companies buy or at lease huge numbers of mustangs. It's a move by car manufactures drive numbers. Get a deal going with a national level car rental company.
