Also the fact these two cars are as direct as direct competitors can ever be!!!! I would directly compare a 1LE to a Track pack.

Same car type, same money, same philosophy. If stang went softer? They chose not to step up performance-wise in there own segment.

The ZL1 and BOSS compare closer.
Fair point about the price.

But I still think if you look at them objectively, the focus of both cars is a little bit different. 1LE is a more hardcore package. The GT Performance Pack (they don't call it the Track Pack anymore for good reason, IMO) is much more suited towards every day use.

That said, it is a little disappointing that Ford does not offer a more focused package for the GT. More tire, better dampers, and stiffer springs would do wonders for the car on track. Maybe some of the suspension goodies (especially MagneRide) from the GT350 will eventually trickle down?
