Is there any indication what brakes the V6 PP has, other than "unique calipers"? Are they the 13.2" rotors from the standard GT brakes? Or are they the same 12.8" rotors from the standard V6...

 

I think they're coming right from the GT

 

I'm thinking it may have something to do with the Auto Headlamps that come with Pony & MCA as well as all GT's. Ford did not want to have 2 different set ups for the HID option.

Had to change tire size to 275/40's rear and 255/40's front. You were right Shaun, they will rub with 285's.

 

Regular V6 = 2010 GT brakes based on some Ford literature I found here and online reviews

V6 PP = 2010 GT Track Pack brakes.

I check the brake spec on all 2011 V6 PP reviews (Car&Driver, Motortrend, etc...) and they all list the rotors size as 12.4" same as standard V6 and 2010 GT. The 2010 GT Track Pack option includes also got different calipers and performance pads, just like the V6 PP, but kept the same size rotors.

I was hoping they were the 2011 GT brakes because I like the looks of big rotors and calipers (especially with 19" wheels). On the other hand smaller brakes means smaller wheels equals cheaper winter tires

 

Looks like you and I are the only ones who saw or paid any attention to that. Is it a mistake or was the earlier EPA estimate a mistake???


My understanding was that the Performance Package got the 2011 GT brakes.

Whatever they get they have been posting the shortest stopping distance of all the new Mustangs, better than the Brembo cars.

 

This has been discussed elsewhere, both the V6 and GT autos get better gas mileage. Autos aren't as inefficient as they used to be. Ford has also specified different gears and narrower tires (for the V6) in order to get the numbers they wanted.

 

Yeah, but that wasn't the case on the GT, manual was originally touted as the 26 MPG car, not the automatic.
