ShakeMe Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I saw a video about the 350 and the guy mentioned that the plastic squeaked above 5K rpms. Have you guys noticed this? According to him, it was due to the flat plane crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 That has been pointed out on several reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Haven't noticed any vibrating noise issues inside. The engine pulls like a mule train up to about 8250 rpm, with a refreshingly broad power band. This car reminds me of a Ford Mustang FR500GT ( cost $225K ) back in 2006. I never thought we could buy one for the street. Oh yeah the Roush-Yates 5.0 red line was 7100 rpm making 534 hp. With drag radials the 350 is in the 11's, actually faster then the FR 500GT. Man it's great to be a Ford fan these days. Can't wait to break her in so I can experience this myself.

mark.barton Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I would suggest rolling the windows down and putting the exhaust system in sport mode. Won't hear any squeaking then. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Even with the cooled seat, 100+ degree heat in TX would make that a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07gt500conv Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Have not heard anything either but usually have the exhaust open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't have this issue, but the rear view mirror definitely vibrates. Sort of a nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 A few thoughts about vibration now after about 300 miles in the seat. First off, I've never driven the car a foot without being switched into Sport mode. Why bother.... That said, maybe the issue of a vibrative rear view mirror at cruising speed is due to the loud exhaust? It does vibrate excessively tho. One other thing on this car..... The exterior mirrors are too small. They look fine on the cars exterior OK, but the viewing surface area is too small IMHO, not to mention the little convex robs from valuable normal viewing area as well. I'm not surprised that the Euro spec mirrors are larger. I'd like to see if I could get a set for my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 The mirrors are small. I thought I was the only one that noticed it. I have gotten used to them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
