Default Which GT Premium should I go with?

Back in May, I joined this forum and was deciding on whether it was dumb to lease or not. (Ultimately, it would be a bad decision to lease, so I decided then that I would be buying a Mustang after the responses I got). Well, the time has come for me to go shopping for it now and I'm debating between these two models, each at different dealers. Both are GT Premium in Sterling Gray with manual transmission. #1 has the GT track package and the electronics package. #2 has the Brembo brake package, electronics, and security package. Both prices are pretty similar, so I'm not sure which to go for. I'd be happy with either, but is the benefit of the security package enough to outweigh the GT track package? I'm not planning on doing any crazy racing stunts btw . Thanks!

Hard decision really, me I would get the security. Only reason I say that is when I got mine I had already planned on just modding the suspension and what not so.....

Welcome to MF. Can't go wrong with either I guess. If you get the track pack you can upgrade the security with some great aftermarket stuff. If you get the security package then you can upgrade the car with some awesome aftermarket parts....Win win really....

Thanks, everyone! I'm gonna go to the dealer that has the track pack today. I guess I'll see which dealer gives me the best offer. Hopefully no one has swooped in and taken either of them yet.

I made the deal on my new Mustang on Monday and picked it up yesterday. After visiting several dealers, I ended up going with a white GT Premium. The package is also different than the sterling grays listed above. No GT track pack or Brembos on this one, but no biggie. Mine came with the comfort package, rear sensing package, and 19" machined aluminum wheels, and 3.73s. Overall I'm happy with the new purchase. Let's see if the link to a pic from my Google drive works:

Congrats! The only thing I wish mine had that yours does is the 3.73's. Love the comfort package in the winter!

Here is info on the components of the Track Pack. Nearly a Boss drive train. Assume setup. Can only get the Torsen anti-slip with the Track Pack. I got one and Love it.
