Almost everyone that takes the GT PP on track says it's a little soft, but on the street it feels just right. On the other hand, the 1LE feels just right on track and is a little rough on the street. That's all.

If the GT had a 1LE package it would not be using the shocks or tires that the PP gives it.

As far as a personal preference towards Ford? I don't have one. I have absolutely no brand allegiance. I buy what I like. If the next generation Camaro appeals to me maybe I'll buy it? All I know is whatever you get from me is as unbiased as I can make it.

Understood, but what it is though, if Ford brands a performance package, it's going to be paired up against the competitors comparably priced equivalent. So for a large portion of the market. There instinct is going to say, performance pack vs pp, the 1LE wins. The 1LE is livable on the street, less harsh than a pre 11 Nismo. It's no Z28 in terms of dedication. I think it's fair to say the 1LE is a superior performance package. Because the mustang should have had a street performance package stock.
Its like in 09 when we all felt the sport pkg on the Z fell short of it's named intention. Trust me, my opinions come from a totally unbiased place as well. The i'm not a Ford fan in terms of purchase, I think cars like the 302, Fiesta st and focus ST are amazing machines. Though the 302 eventually fell short to the 1LE as well. Pre-1LE, it was a masterpiece for the price.
