2015-2016 Mustang GT Changes?
I've been out of the game for a bit, but now I'm back... I'm looking to buy a 2016 Mustang GT Auto. But I'm curious what, if any changes were made from 2015 to 2016...? Trying to get back up to speed with all the different options I'm seeing now. GT Performance Pack, Gauges, no gauges, toggles switches on the dash... It's a lot to swallow... What's good?
Thanks!
Thanks!

So, now even more confusion... AK__Kayaker, Perf.Pack Still not available on Autos? Will it ever be, do we know? Also, what all is in it? I'm set on getting an Auto with 3.55's. But I've been hearing hype about the PP on the manuals... What am I really missing? Brembos... Also, Drive modes.. Is this available on Autos? Going crazy looking through all the dealers inventories trying to find my car...

Copy paste from our friends at Ford
"The GT Performance Package includes:
• Strut-tower brace
• Larger radiator

• Upsized rear sway bar
• Heavy-duty front springs
• Interior gauge pack (oil pressure and vacuum)
• K brace

• 255/40R19 (F) 275/40R19(R) summer-only tires*

I think the drive modes come in all the premium models.

I just bought mine ... lucky enough to live near a huge city, so I could search dozens of dealers to find exactly what I wanted.
I don't find the Performance Pack suspension to be too harsh as a street driver (though I'm used to driving a 26 year old pickup or a heavily modded Wrangler, so... ) ... but that won't matter if you're committed to an auto trans.
The bigger brakes were a requirement for me ... but this car will see a lot of time on road-tracks. They're not really necessary for street use, or just stopping at the end of a 1/4 mile.
The PP also includes a front strut-tower-brace and additional undercarriage bracing, but those can also be added aftermarket on an auto car.
Sync3 is WAAAAY better than the (old) MyFordTouch... I have an Explorer with that system and this new Sync3 is so much nicer! I'd say it's worth upgrading to a Premium version just for the Sync3.
