tangent or
Sorry, your correct. It slipped my mind that the Tech package also includes the MagRide suspension. However, to get the Recaros - you have to either order the TRACK package, or just order the 'R' model, correct?

if you want MAG ride and the recaro's it is track pack or R model.

base GT350 has Recaros no magride
track GT350 has Recaros with magride
R GT350 has Recaros with magride

Incorrect. Base GT350 does not have Recaros.

Edit: In order to get the Recaros, you either have to get the GT350 w/ Track Package, or get the GT350R

Here are the Seats that come with the Base GT350 or GT350 w/ the Tech Package:

Please include your source to support your statement that the base GT350 does not come with Recaros.

This is strange, no? Maybe Ford will revise this - because a GT350 without the Track package is hardly different than a 5.0 GT with the PP, from a handling perspective.

False.

Different materials, different geometry, and likely different dampers/springs even for the base. Not to mention the lighter 2 piece rotors will improve handling as well. From what I have gathered, not only the the fronts larger in diameter, they also have different calipers.

Also false. Please do some research and stop spreading misinformation

I believe it is pretty well established that the BASE GT350 does not have Recaros. Do these look like Recaros to you?

That is a TECH package GT350. Look at the center console.


If you would actually look at the order guide at the following link. You will see recaros listed as standard equipment. Meaning recaros are on all GT350s unless an optional package lists different seats.

So, can you not get the Recaros with the Tech Package on the Base GT350?

Base GT350 = Recaros or Leather Seats?
Base w/ Tech = Leather Seats
Base w/ Track = Recaros

GT350R = Recaros
GT350R w/ Tech = Recaros

Probably will just end up with the 'R', Tech Package and will have rear seats installed (have a 2 year old boy)

No Recaros with TECH
Base GT350 = cloth recaros

The TECH package isn't available on the R only the ELETRONICS Package.

I believe Ford gave them different names to avoid confusion.

Thank You. I wonder if down the road the Recaros will be a standalone option (they should be).

Where can I find the difference between the Tech and Electronics Package?

False again, like I said, please do your research before you continue to post

All of the information is readily available, no need to keep spreading misinformation. Pretty apparent the base package would not have leather or navigation

The tech pack is a package for the Base GT350 while the electronic pack is only for the R.

Tech pack
-Mag Ride
-Sync 3 and nav
-Leather seats (non Recaro)
-Upgraded audio system


Electronics pack (basically adds creature comforts back into the R)
-Nav and Sync 3
-Upgraded audio system
-Auto climate control
-Radio
