That's 95% wheels and tires. I have both and with the same wheels and tires her premium gets almost the same range as my GT...just FYI
I upgraded to the GTPE wheels because I don't care about the mileage penaltyWell, yes and no. The GT nose is a bit draggier than the Premium nose. The GT has slightly less draggy wheels that offset this. The GT-PE has more drag on the wheels, making that model have less range.
From an aesthetic standpoint most people would agree that the GT nose is an upgrade.
, I couldn't stand the super skinny premium wheels, especially looking at the back of the car.
I'm sure that this is right so I guess I'm not most people. I prefer the clean look of the non-GT over the fake grill but I do like the light up pony. That and a few other things swayed me to the GT.From an aesthetic standpoint most people would agree that the GT nose is an upgrade.
I’d be shocked if they even can measure/notice the difference.
I like the GTPE wheels too, but the wife is all about the mileage though.I upgraded to the GTPE wheels because I don't care about the mileage penalty
I definitely meant the looks were an upgrade ha, I would take that penalty too if it made sense financially to me
The actual cover itself is less than the premium cover. The finish panel, light emblem and shutter assembly are where the big price swing is. The finish panel alone is $1900.00 and the emblem is another $664.00.I’d be shocked if they even can measure/notice the difference.
Anyone know the drag coefficient between the two trims?
The style coefficient definitely went up two points!
On a related note: what’s the price difference between the premium front end parts and the GT?
If someone gets into an accident, might be worthwhile to pay the difference out of pocket to upgrade.
I did something similar years ago paying extra for a Ram air hood when my “non Ram air” hood was damaged. Body shop just had me pay the difference out of pocket and insurance covered the rest.
It was “cool” at the time.
LOL a friend's uncle went the opposite way on his '74 Formula SD-455. He removed the shaker and shaker hood and put a plain jane Firebird hood on the car. People around Evanston got a rude surprise when the "fake Formula" stomped the crap out of them.I’d be shocked if they even can measure/notice the difference.

My detailer is ridiculously good. I toss him the keys every Friday and it looks like a new penny for the weekend. Having a shop has its perks.
Tree sap is wreaking havoc on my paint. I hand wash it weekly but will get it professionally detailed soon.
The Mach-E stays in the garage and my Mini Cooper and Ford Escape stay outside. Yeah, I tell my customers all of the time, beware of tree sap and bird crap. Bird droppings will ruin paint almost as fast as battery acid.
