1000 Mile Review

[enzo101]

I got my 350 Feb 22nd (Wednesday) and today I hit 1,000 miles on it. Everything on it is just about perfect! Here are some things I noticed.

1. Holy mother of brake dust batman! Man do these brakes love to spew dust all over the place! Every time I take the car out it needs a bath just to rid all the brake dust off it.

2. Cold starts are not the neighbors best friend. This car is like a punch of sound, all up in your face! Super raspy too.

3. People love it! All sorts of people look and admire or roll their windows down just to have a listen of what a real car is supposed to sound like.

4. The tires are great! Absolutely no tire squeal around corners or during hard starts.

5. The small pebbles that get in the space near the front tire are annoying but I just ordered the rock blocker today so that should take car of that.

6. Apparently cops have taken notice of the car. One of my professors works as a police officer as well and some of the people at the station have talked about the car, mind you I live in a small town so word travels fast.

So far there are no complaints whatsoever. This car is about as close to perfect as it gets. Every time I get in it I just want to go up and hug they people at Ford that are responsible for putting it into production. Ford really outdid themselves and really outdid the competition as well. I don't see Chevy ever being able to create a car like the Shelby. Sure the new z/28 will be faster, that's a given, but it won't evoke the same emotions or feelings that this car gives you. My God is it a DAMN good automobile and by far the best car at its price point.

I'll add some pictures a bit later on.

Sweet! Here are my rebuttals in bold.

1. Holy mother of brake dust batman! Man do these brakes love to spew dust all over the place! Every time I take the car out it needs a bath just to rid all the brake dust off it. Because racecar brakes!

2. Cold starts are not the neighbors best friend. This car is like a punch of sound, all up in your face! Super raspy too. Because FPC!

3. People love it! All sorts of people look and admire or roll their windows down just to have a listen of what a real car is supposed to sound like. They don't know what they're missing!

4. The tires are great! Absolutely no tire squeal around corners or during hard starts. You gotta brake later, turn deeper, and exit harder!

5. The small pebbles that get in the space near the front tire are annoying but I just ordered the rock blocker today so that should take car of that. Don't disturb the aero baby!

6. Apparently cops have taken notice of the car. One of my professors works as a police officer as well and some of the people at the station have talked about the car, mind you I live in a small town so word travels fast. One word.... jealousy.

Congrats again and enjoy! :cheers:

Enzo, I was a bit off predicting you would get back to us in a month (off by about 3 weeks) proclaiming you broke a 1000 miles.
The speed you accumulated the miles proves how fun and addicting this car is to drive :cheers::ford:

Hahahaha you and everyone else. It was about 200 miles from the dealer to home. and about a 300ish round trip over the weekend. Lunch breaks consist of driving about 75 miles to and from a restaurant in the mountains. I'll post a pic later on tomorrow.

1K in the short time. At least you are now past the recommended full on thrashing milestone.

Every once in a while. When I do I'll take the rock blocker out.
