I haven't really seen too much into the 15s yet. However as someone who has owned both a 13 base and premium. There is a night and day difference between the quality of interiors. I'd believe that trend will follow into the new 15s.

The cloth seats are OK but the leather is super nice and has a more luxiourious feel. Also the track apps make the dash look way better compared to the analog gauges on a base. Mine has Nav so the it looks 1000x times better than the stock setup. Also my base didn't have sync, definitely a must have.

To save some costs, maybe get sync and then add some leather takeoffs down the road.

STBs came with '13 TPs, but not regular GTs.

Not true. It was based on premium or not. I have one but it's not a tp.

Are you rolling 19s? I read in another thread that the STB is somehow tied to 19" wheel options. So track or Brembo packs, but can't confirm if you just order shiny 19s if it comes with the STB.

Then I believe you got a free one, because this has been covered before. Either that or they started adding them late because I have a '13 GT premium and no STB and neither did other non-TP GTs when they were first rolling out. Do you have a late build?

Hmmm. It is brembo so yes I also have the 19's. Idk then. Maybe it was tied to that.

Yeah it's a late 13 build. But definitely not a mistake. I do know that the track apps were exclusive to track pack 13's early on as well but they changed it mid build yr to be on all premiums. So maybe they made the same adjustment to the STB bc I had always been told it was connected to premium or not. This is how it was for the 14MY, so it would make sense that this could have been implemented for late 13's too.

Griff. First off, you never specified in the original post which yr you were talking about. So people guessed and started talking about 13-14.

Either way doesn't this info help with your original question? Lots of good info here on the differences and even a first hand opinion from having both. Granted they are not the year you're looking for, but the differences should still be of the same magnitude.

You're absolutely wrong here buddy. The STB has come with ALL 2010 and up Mustang Coupes equipped with 19" wheels, and ALL 2010 and up Mustang Convertibles. It has nothing to do with Base versus Premium or Track Pack/non Track Pack.

You know, now that you say it, I think I've heard that before. Maybe I was remembering the speculation, not the answer, my bad.

Also now comparing the GT 300A to the GTPremium 400A the difference doesn't seem that great and it has reinforced my choice that the price increase isn't worth it for the 2015 MY

I'd have to look through all of the sheets again to be sure personally. The 15MY being stepped up across the board could very well give you a very nice base gt. This wasn't necessarily the case for 13/14MY.

I look at current threads in the app. It lists it but I rarely pay attention to what forum it's from.
