it may add some value later on for the real early cars first delivered in Aus.

Anyone thinking these are money makers is kidding themselves. Gotta agree with this comment...
I'll wait a few years then pick one up on the cheap from one of you early adopters when you get bored and want to upgrade to the new model.
IMHO be lucky to be selling for 60-70% of original retail in 3 years time... let alone those paying premiums to "flippers", that extra is a dead loss down the track.
On a more serous note, with all the posts about instantly tweaking the cars for "more"... I got thinking what does that do to the warranty? As a "new" (ish) model (RHD) if there is some issue down the track with engine/transmission does the after market mod void the warranty? or does the after market vendor assume it (not likely...)??? Curious if folks are concerned at all, or just figure they'll take a chance as I sure can't believe Ford will warranty a car with a after market turbo, intercooler, etc... long shot, but issues do crop up, even on new cars...
