THE WAIT IS OVER!

Picked her up today. I'm freaking out! Pictures don't do this car justice. I want to thank all of the knowledgeable people on this site. The information exchanged here is outstanding. If anyone could give me info on the best way to safely break her in, I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

 

DON

I drove mine 450 miles (to home) the first day. 60....70....80....70....60. Next 500 miles was brisk, but never over 5,000 and never full throttle. About 1/2 to 3/4 throttle from 500 to 1,000 miles. Changed oil at 1,000 miles. She makes over 460 hp at the weels and about 540 at the crank. Stock.

 

In a nutshell, don't beat it....but most certainly do not baby it.

 

Where's Sycamore and do you live there or is that just the dealership. I'm in Oak Park (first suburb west of the city)

 

 

Congrats on your pony.

Thanks for the break in advice. Sycamore is located at route 64 & route 23 in IL. (I'm located in "Lake In The Hills") Small dealership, (Brian Bemis Ford) no gimmiks, no games. They kept their word from the beginning, until the sale was final.

Congrats Don. I have the inverse color combo. I really struggled over which combo (blue/wht or wht/blue) to get but I think they are both awesome combo's. Great pics. Enjoy!!

 

Blue & White is an great color combo. I also had a hard time chosing between the two.
