Which part was in doubt?

The only correction I can think of is related to the tires. IIRC, the '13-'14 BBP became available with automatic trans cars and those came with the P255/40ZR19 Goodyear F1 Supercar like those from the Convertibles.

It also comes with "street cred" as even non-muscle car people recognize the Brembo and track pack cars as being a little bit special.

Oh, Someone I was talking with just mentioned how much I paid just for bigger brakes in the front, and I said it came with other things too. Though honestly, I would have paid the same for just bigger brakes. Stopping power, don't ye know.

And yeah I have the Goodyear's on my car. So I know about that.

Are these items true for convertibles as well?


Different Springs (131lbs Front / 167lbs Rear)
Different Struts/ Shocks (tuned for spring rates)
GT-500 Rear Lower Control Arms ( Higher Durometer Rubber)
Unique Electronic Stability ControlŽ (ESC) Tuning
Unique Sport Steering Control Setting (EPAS) (always keep mine in Sport - the other two options don't feel like a sports car at all to me)

Right but it was actually optional on standard '12 Boss302 as part of the Recaro seat package.

You are correct, 3.73 came with the Recaro seat option, but not standard on GT it was extra charge I know because I paid $500 to add it in, standard GT axle ratio was 3.51

And the 3.73 back then wasn't torsen either, only boss and laguna Seca had them, later it became available on 13 and 14 because boss was about to be phased out

Talking

I have Brembo's on my 2014 and a separate option of the 373 rear, The brakes are fantastic and will stop a car on a dime...unless a deer runs out 10 feet in front of you and suddenly there is $5000 in damage...yup it is me.

I went minimalist also. 14 GT Track Pack, Sync/power seat, Ruby Red Paint. THATS IT!!! the perfect Mustang. The looks of a 69/70 with the performance of a modern supercar.

Add a set of lowering springs with better spring rates and the brakes get even better with little to no nose dive!! I installed some Ford Racing springs on my 2014 TP with the Boss adj. shocks and what an improvement. Would have been nice if they came with the TP option all together.

Agreed! I just have the Brembos and installed the SR Lowering springs (original shocks) and it was a night and day difference!! Cornering is pretty good too...sometimes if feels like your insides are going to come out when you take a turn perfectly. Girlfriend officially told me I can't do that anymore though

So its pretty common to see a base GT with just Brembos? I think its the perfect combo if you get Sync as well. Its really nice to have the bluetooth audio

I have everything but the tech (nav) package and TP (Mine's automatic).

Shaker Pro, Pony Package, Premium Package, Brembo, etc..

I did not want the big nav screen in my car. I just don't like them. ruins the aesthetics for me. Sync Destinations works just as well, as does Sync Services.
