Default Identifying Track Package

My first post here! Here's my story, I'm doing some early shopping for an used mustang GT or GT Premium. Planning on getting a '11 or sooner though I really like the '13 so I may wait another 6 months as the market for used '13 MY cars improves. Anyways my goal with the car is to visit the track/autox at least half a dozen times so I thought the track package seemed like a good value. I also can't help myself and I feel the need to get a vehicle with Recaro seats. That being said I'm not afraid to get in a plane or ship a vehicle that matches my needs. However when searching for said vehicle (I usually use cars.com) the sellers do a very poor job marketing these vehicles, I see hundreds of brembo packages without even a mention.

My question then is how do I identify the track package without a photo of the window sticker. I'm not far enough along the buying process to be bothered with contacting every seller with a brembo package. Is there anything I can spot in the engine bay? The other place I was thinking was the door sill sticker, there must be a code for the track pack.
Thanks!

Oil cap will have "fill with 5w-50 full synthetic" vice the a non track package oil cap will have "fill with 5w-20 full synthetic".

Option code I believe is 55R.

Hope this helps

There is a link on these forums somewhere how to pull up the original window sticker using the VIN, most cars on cars.com or autotrader list the vin so u can just copy and paste.

That link seemed to be broken, but I took your idea and found another link http://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Numbe...cker/Ford.html

Thanks for your help Alloy!
