Got her out for a bit today. Working on photos and videos I think you will all enjoy.

I truly feel bad for those of you in eternal limbo. I had a small taste in Vegas, and now im fully addicted.

My expectations were already very high, and Ford exceeded them.

I have 0* complaints. I cannot find a single thing wrong with this car!

I will populate this thread as we go. But believe me, all my free time is going to be spent with the car now, and less online.

Feel free to use this as a Q and A as well, if there is a spec or dimension you awaiting owners would like to know, ill do my best to provide info asap.

I have and will continue to post tidbits on Instagram and YouTube (IconicGT500), but i will be sure to bring it here as well.

For now, until the vids are done, enjoy these couple placeholders

I have a few Q's:

1) Does the car keep the exhaust setting, or do you have to set it each time you start the car?
2) Same question applies to the mode of driving?
3) Heated Steering?

Dont recall off hand. I will check in the morning for mode memory.

Pretty sure no heated wheel (* my only complaint is lack of heated/cooled Recaros)

I got leather seats exactly for that reason I wanted the heated/cooled seats.

Highly doubt it maintains exhaust mode when shut off. My GT350 doesn’t; it always starts up in quiet mode. I seem to recall that Speed Phenom also addressed this briefly in one of his recent videos.

I also think it’s a little frustrating that Ford couldn’t manage to make the Recaros power/heated/cooled like the ZL1 has. At least they’re leather instead of cloth like the Gt350, but come on.

That truly sucks, that was one of my main complaints with my '16 Cali, when i would set the driving mode say to wet, everytime that day I had to set it back to wet, was the most annoying thing, then rumor had it that the '18's were going to have it set to remember, obviously that was not the case, and now the GT500 cant remember the drive mode or the exhaust mode? WTF?!?! Ford seems to drag their feet in what people ask for, you would think since it could be done and others are doing it they would follow suit. I was looking in forscan to see if it could be a setting to flip on, but the guy who was going to look into it ended up having a hurricane in the area and from their lost touch, but from initial findings there was no memory for it to be remembered.

Are the sport seats full leather or do they have miko inserts?

lolol.. im saying, if people have a question that one needs a car to measure. But yes, things just like that.. i didnt know, do all non gt350 buyers know it?

I know i know.. thats how perfect this car is, not even a complaint. just would rather have air blowing through my crevices in the heat. Yes, im in love. dont be salty, i feel your pain ;)

Earl, measurements for your viewing pleasure. Also strut mounts did not come in, dealership is checking if it’s part of the handling package.

I was torn between the power and heated sport seats and the Recaro's because I really like sitting in the Recaro's but didn't want to give up the heated or power functions. If Ford can supply my Focus RS with 6 way power, power lumbar and heated Recaro's, why they couldn't do it in a much more expensive car is my question. I did end up ordering the Recaro's.

I really like seeing your Iconic Silver photos. The best ones I have seen of that color so far. I originally ordered the car in IS but then changed it to PB because most every car and truck I have had in the last 15 years has been Ingot Silver (except for my RS) but after seeing your car I may change it back. Keep those awesome photos coming.
