The performance package for the GT has more horsepower to stop, and is therefore stepped up over the EcoBoost package. The $2495 package brings along six-piston Brembo brake calipers clamping 15-inch rotors in the front, while the rears are shared with the EcoBoost. The axle ratio on this car is 3.73:1, and a Torsen differential is used. The front tires are also shared with EcoBoost package, but the rears are 275/40R19 Pirelli rubber. A strut-tower brace and a unique front splitter complete the package.

According to Ford, the 2015 Mustang GT consistently beat a 2013 Mustang Boss 302 during testing, a sure sign that the new Mustang will be a great performer on race day.
