Do they have their driving license? I have no idea about the US, but how do you guys get a license if you can't drive stick? Are there two categories license? 1 for automatic and 1 for stick?

Over here everybody gets their license after learning driving stick and some people who have issues with driving a vehicle or people with disabilities can get their driver license only for automatic vehicles.

There is no requirement to learn stick here. Most states you get a learners permit at 15, drive with your parents in whatever cars they have and then at 16 go take the driving test and get your license. Some states require a drivers education class with some driving time with an instructor. My son just did it in North Carolina, 6 hrs in a beat up Chevy impala woth like 150k+ miles on it lol. He’ll learn stick in my Mach 1

Thanks for all the great pics and info. I ordered mine on 3/28, no movement. I was on the fence with the Recaro seats and ended up going with them because there was so much confusion bout the color and material the first month or so that the banks were open. I sat in a 23 gt with them and thought they were okay, but not nearly as comfy as my 2010 gt leather seats. I thought the blue leather part only came with the Recaro and I wanted that color. If I weren’t concerned about losing my price protection, I’d probably change the seats after seeing these pictures. Instead, I will keep telling myself that I will have to track it a few times to make the Recaro selection meaningful! Beautiful car and thanks again.

I had Recaro seats in my 22 Raptor and I found them uncomfortable. I might track these a few times during the entire time I have, but I didn't think that was worth it since 99% of the time I'll just be cruising and having fun on the curvy backroads here.

Thanks. I might see if I can find a dealer with them and sit in it for more than a min and get in and out more than a couple of times. Then I will decide if I want to risk the price protection. I’m still in unscheduled/clean, so I think I can change it from a technical standpoint. Thank you.

Looks great! The Blue accents really set it off nicely!

Though the gray sections look lighter than I was expecting, I thought that they would be darker.

Some pictures have shown it a Dark Charcol and others a lighter gray like yours. I wonder if it is just the brighter lighting?

Either way, looking great!

I will be looking forward getting to mine while you are enjoying yours!

I think it's just the lighting. They definitely don't look light to the actual eye.

Now I understand why people from the US are bragging about driving stick like it's rocket science LOL.

Yep, I’m 41 and my parents generation is probably the last generation where the majority learned to drive stick

What a shame.
98% of the people here have a stick shift license.
The other 2% are disabled or lazy and have an automatic license.

Those 2% are not allowed to drive in an stick shift vehicle.

The GT500 has a shift dial instead of a knob shifter.

Never seen one

I sat in a 2018 GT350 with Recaros and also didn't care for them. I also sat in a 2022 Mach 1 with the cloth seats and much preferred them. l stayed with the cloth and from the looks of them I am happy with my choice.

If I had had any idea that my Dark Horse wouldn't have been delivered for so long, I would have bought the Mach 1 and enjoyed it until Ford got my Dark Horse built.

Good luck as you make your final decision.

There have been some questions about any Owner's kit shipped with the Dark Horse. Could you tell us if that is true and what it might contain?

Also did it come with a catch can as the PDI says?
