Same seats as the GT350.Are the Recaro's in the GT500 identical to the GT350R model? I tried out the seats in the GT350R the other night and their too tight a fit for me. I'm hoping that the 500 has more width. Thanks all.
I just don't fit, my back is too wide and my thighs are squished. I fit Porsche carbon buckets just fine so it's a bummer.Same seats as the GT350.
Agreed, for my shoulders and hips, it was a very secure fit and would be great for track use, but for day to day I went with the standard seats and the tech package.
If your not tracking her imo I would not get them. Same story for me I have owned the GT350 and Focus RS and after an hour or so it’s like get me out of this car it sucks lol.Are the Recaro's in the GT500 identical to the GT350R model?

So.... size DOES matter lol.At 5'9 and 150, I love 'em and so does the better half. If it's cold enough for seat heat, I'll take the truck and I never use the cooling, even down here. (Don't like a cold butt, ifyouknowwhatImeanVern?) :-)
Same here, I went with the standard seats. Didn't want to take the chance that I wouldn't fit and then what do you do??? Your stuck with something that is not comfortable. For that reason I went with the standard seats.At 6'2 and 220, I opted for the normal seats. Sat in a GT 500 with Recaro's and felt like I was sitting on them...… Not looking for a barco lounger but looking for the right fit.
I feel the GT500 Recaro's are slightly wide than my sons Focus RS.I am right in there with Kent and Jamie, 5' 8, 155 and I have loved the Recaro's in my RS for the last 3+ years. Maybe the Shelby Recaro is probably a bit different in shape, but I am pretty sure it won't be tighter than the one in the Focus. While I will not miss the power adjustments and power lumbar, I do want the heated function. The car is always garaged but sometimes when I am out and it is cold, the warmth on my old back feels really good. Installing seat heaters in the Recaro's will be one of the first things I will do. Not sure why in the RS the Recaro's have heat and full power and the GT500 are completely manual but probably to save weight.
