You realize you are on a forum on the internet discussing the Mach e. It's not all ponies and rainbows. Very happy for the OP , but have to take the good with the bad. Otherwise stay offline.
And the post included the best interior pics we've seen of the GTPE. I admit I can't wait for these seats, but I do also have some concerns with them. I am pretty positive my wife will hate them and I'll love them no matter what. Lol

On the interior, can I ask a personal question? How big of a guy are you? If you're a bigger guy like me, how's the headroom with the pano roof and how is the bolstering on the seats themselves?
I'm medium height - pushing 5' 9", but heavy set. Headroom sitting in vehicle is not a problem for me in any way. The pano glass roof seems to have plenty of headroom but I can further check later.

I usually like to adjust my seat to the highest setting, but found I hit the side and top of my head getting in mostly, not as much problem getting out. It seems I am naturally grabbing something to get my head lower getting out. But entering, my head seems to hit with the seat at highest level. So for now, I have lowered it just a tad and now seems fine.

All you guys talking about how it looks. ?. I want OP to get a Dragy and get us some 60 ft, 0-30, 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, 60-0 numbers. Come on guys, it’s a GT-PE. Let’s see the 3.5…. I also want to see the launch G, should be able to hit 1G longitudinal if it runs a 3.5 to 60. And for those wondering what a Dragy is:

I'm game! Too bad your in TX and I'm in Iowa. I will consider getting a Dragy for sure. but as this all new to me, I'd need advice where to go locally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa or surrounding area. I took some initial video 0-60 near my home this morning and will be willing to share with the right deal. (my YouTube is not monetized worthy yet)

Do you think the ground clearance is low, any issues where you travel?

Yes, the interior pics are great. The dashboard trim also looks very different from the pics on Ford's website - I think they changed the design a little, it seems to be more than just different lighting.

Of course I realize that. But there's no reason people can't avoid being entirely without tact. You don't insult a person's children, their spouses, or their cars. Cardinal sins.

Gorgeous car, but those seats are going to divide opinions for sure. They just don't look right.
As long as the seats provide support for 1g turns and accel, who cares that they look different? Those shoulder bolsters look quite innovative!! Personally, I am ignoring any comments about seat appearance - do they do what they are supposed to do? - that is what I care about.

I have a video of a fast turn and it really hugged the road... felt very well in control - so the overall stability is phenomenal. Hopefully can release the videos soon.

I've driven around town including an area with rather high curbs for entry into commercial and residential - I angled into them, but probably had no issue to be concerned. I'll try to get a picture and/or video of the approach and driving over one of those curbs.
