What are the differences in suspension between the '15 GT w/ PP, vs. the base GT350 WITHOUT the Track Package?
GT PP vs. base GT350
- Thread starter Rainmaker
- Start date
No one here can actually answer this question because no one here has driven the GT350. Let alone one without the track package.

The base 350 doesn't have them.
Different shock valveing, different half shafts, different Hubs.
The 15 GT/PP seems to be on par with the 13 Boss on lap times(which weirdly 1% better then the 12 Boss lap times) Will have to wait to see what lap times are published on the GT350.

91 more hp, 29 more tq, better brakes, better tires, same weight, and most likely a far better transmission. I'd say it's no contest.
I think the OP was trying to figure out if the base 350 uses the same suspension as the GT with PP.

I was responding to F8L SN8K's comment. No sarcasm intended there either if it came off that way.
Wrong. The base gt350 will have magnetic shocks.
I haven't seen anything at all that shows the base package having them. Want to enlighten me? Tech pack adds them, track pack adds them, and R package adds them, but nothing I've seen says that the $49,000 base GT350 will have MRC.
magride is only available on the GT350 with packages. If you purchase a base GT350 without the any option packages you will not get magride.
correct
Looks like my question was answered, thanks though.
I stand corrected.
I certainly agree no contest between the two. Especially factoring in the HP difference and tires. He just asked difference in suspension. The GTPP is good and Dave Pericak has been quoted saying it out handles the Boss which is sorta true by the numbers I've seen on several types of road courses. With the right driver the Boss is simply amazing letting it all hang out on a road course. Last one I was in(stock) was hanging with a race prepped 00R(and passed it). The Boss has more performance potential then what most of the owners have talent to handle. The GTPP does too. The GT350 will follow suit as most drivers will run out of talent WAY before the car reaches its limits.

Sorry to bump, but is it still correct that you can NOT have the Tech AND Track Package for the base 350?
That is correct. Tech and Track packages can not bordered together.
And the electronic package is R only too.
This is strange, no? Maybe Ford will revise this - because a GT350 without the Track package is hardly different than a 5.0 GT with the PP, from a handling perspective.
i don't know about that.
Both the TECH and TRACK packages come with the same major handling component; the MagRide Suspension. So handling should be the same.
The advantage of the TRACK Package is that it has the oil and transmission coolers that will help you have longer runs on track days.
The advantage of the TECH Package is that it's more comfortable and functional as a daily driver.

Sorry, your correct. It slipped my mind that the Tech package also includes the MagRide suspension. However, to get the Recaros - you have to either order the TRACK package, or just order the 'R' model, correct?
