Buying 2017 or 2018 SHO

[mhw100]

First post by a newbie!

I'm looking to buy a 2017 or 2018 SHO but most of them do not have the PP. 

I won't want to tune it until the warranty runs out but my question is does the 3.16 ratio make a difference in 0-60 performance.  I'd like the best get up and go I can get while under warranty.  I found a 2016 thread on this subject and I believe there were mixed answers i.e. some said it would make a difference and some said otherwise. 

Could one you pros please set me straight on whether to hold out for a car with the PP or just go for base SHO.

Thank you.

I've owned both (2013 non/2015 PP) and if I did it again, I would probably buy non PP and add the extra cooling goodies and swap out the pads. The non PP never faded but the pads got NOISY when pushed hard.

I found the PP harder to launch at the track, didn't care for the springs (harsh ride), and the grease magnet AKA alcantara steering wheel.

The NON-PP's have consistently been proven to be faster in the 1/4, once a tune has been applied.

However, the added auxiliary coolers (Oil, Trans, and PTU) certainly are incredibly hard to over look.

That said, retro-fitting them on, afterwards, is not all that terribly difficult.

Really your choice ultimately. You'll be happy either way. They're great cars.

Just a wet microfiber cleans the alcantara super easy every six months  or as needed
I really like it for the extra but soft grip.

The fact that I can turn off the stupid nannies without pulling a fuse is well worth it.  I love my PP.  I'm glad I searched hard for it.  I dig the steering wheel and enjoy the shorter gearing.

Specially when a raptor tries to get you at the light

I had both the 13 NON -PP-SHO which in a couple of weeks later traded it in for my current 13 PP- SHO!

It all boils down to personal preferences but in my case prefered the stiffer suspension similar to the PI and IMHO both are awesome cars which gets you a whole lot of car with almost every available feature possible.
Btw make sure to get an extended service plan up to 100K. Best of luck.  Z

Wonder if you can get your vehicle CPO'd without selling to the dealership.  Coz then the max available warranty period would be a bit longer.

I wish that was possible! Dunno!  Z
