The specs for Australia did have powered Recaro's but I wasn't holding my breath.
U.S cars definitely are not powered.
Good result for a change

2018 GT manual MagneRide Recaros. Ordered
How is the Magneride ?
Drove home in the rain and parked it so no idea yet Bullant.

I’ll know by tomorrow tho.
Panel gaps, interior fit, paintwork all perfect.
Stereo is loud and crisp with zero distortion at any bass level.

Order 18 GT Fastback M6T Kona Mag Rec Forged
Finally picked up my Manual GT with MagneRide and Recaros yesterday, ordered Feb last year so a short wait.
I’ve only driven it 20ks back from the dealer so far but it’s a bloody nice car, sounds fantastic!

One thing i was very surprised by is that the Recaros are powered. I’m positive the U.S spec aren’t.

I couldn’t upload photos but will when i get on the laptop later.

Hope you all get yours soon.
How is the M6T ?

Yep, i did not believe that spec sheet either.
I don’t think they have memory but i also don’t know where to look for that setting.

Feels good but i babied it home.

Pedals may be a touch too far apart for heel toeing but I’ll suss it out tomorrow.
Gears feel a touch long but not excessive. I kind of knew that before i drove it so I asked my Dealer about possibly changing the ratios through whatever form Ford Performance are going to take and he’s at a dealer Mustang day at Lakeside today and is going to find info on all of that as i want everything under factory warranty of course.

Does anyone know how long the rail journey from Flat Rock to Baltimore takes? I can't imagine it taking more than a week or two?

3-4 weeks, then 3-4 weeks waiting for a ship

Good to hear that at least some of you guys are getting your cars at last, and that those who are upgrading from the previous model concur with my thoughts that the upgrade is a significant one.

In terms of unexpected specification, did the Aussie fastback get a subwoofer? How about heated steering wheel? I’m actually not sure if they are on the NZ spec list now or not, but we ordered the '18 blind and were surprised when it came with those as they weren’t on our '16 fastback.
