I'd love an R with electronics pack, but I'm not realistically going to be able to make that happen. I have found a good deal on a non-R though, so I'm going with the track pack. The only thing I'm not clear on equipment wise is whether or not the track pack comes with the oil pressure and oil temp auxiliary gauges. I really like having those in any car that I plan to drive aggressively. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance!

They aren't mentioned in the configurator, but I was hoping that they may have just not mentioned them. The only thing that mentions the gauges is the R with electronics pack. I figured all the Rs would come with them.

I don't believe they are and here's why

Under standard feature I found:

Gray accent gauge cluster and resister vents.

Under the R Trim electronics package I found

Auxiliary Gauges

I did not find any reference to auxiliary gauges in the the other packages. I did find a photo of a base Synch system that only comes with the base GT350 and track package with the Aux Gauges.

So then the question is "is the build guide wrong or the media pictures?"

I noticed the same thing. Only the R with electronics package says anything about auxiliary gauges.

I'm strongly considering the tech pack, then just buying a track pack spoiler and strut brace for it. I remember reading that the cars without the coolers should be fine for a 20 minute session, and I'll rarely ever get to road race. The tech pack seats aren't Recaros, but they should hold you pretty well considering they're the same shape as the Mustang seats plus have suede inserts.

The thing that's killing me about the track pack is that I HATE HATE HATE the look of that base Sync system. It's so ugly, and I'll have to stare at that cheap looking thing all the time. I so wish I could get an R with electronics so that I could have everything that I want. First world problems.

I chuck it up to... I'm in the car everyday. So yes, I want leather and a touch screen.

You're right $50k for the base and they put in that crappy synch system. They might as well just deleted the stereo for "weight savings" and kept it at the same price. People would be cheering Ford for it.

Yeah. I think that's what I'm going to go with unless I find an R allocation by some miracle.

That's what I'm going with, so I hope we're not neighbors. Haha!

I never would've thought of the combo, but I loved it ever since I first saw it. If I could get an R, it would have to be the black with black stripes. That thing looks so mean. I've always hated owning black cars, but I'd have to make the leap for that one.

Unless you plan on living in Germany for the next few years then you won't need to worry about sitting at the same stop light that I'm at

Unless there's a Germany, Texas, I don't think there'll be a problem. We have an Italy, TX, so you never know.

The track pack does come with the gauges.
