The Legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang Returns

NORWALK, Ohio – For all you speedsters out there, Ford Motor Company recently announced some exciting news – the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang will be returning to dealerships! This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the infamous pony car, and although we have been celebrating all year long, this news was really the icing on the cake!

Since its original appearance in 1965, this particular Mustang has been named one of the most iconic performance vehicles EVER! The original purpose of the Shelby was to be a great everyday vehicle, as well as an influential road racer on even the utmost challenging backroads. The Shelby was created with a focus on being the most balanced, nimble and exhilarating Mustang yet. This beauty will satisfy your need for speed with the high-revving flat-plane crankshaft 5.2 liter V8 that generates more than a 500 horsepower, resulting in it being the strongest Ford production engine ever!

The legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang returns with the most powerful platform yet! With the impressive torsional stiffness increasing over 28 percent compared to the previous models – this guarantees that suspension geometry will stay consistent through all types of driving conditions! Due to this vehicle functioning at a number of speeds, the type of wheels and brakes included are a key element to pay attention too. Luckily, this vehicle contains the most credible brake system ever – yes you heard us right, EVER! The dampers are also something special to be noted because they are the first-ever Ford application of continuously controlled MagneRide dampers, resulting in the best possible handling performance.

Beyond some of the more obvious features, there is a countless amount of small details that go a long way in improving the performance of the Shelby GT350. From the aero shape of the car to help optimize the airflow to its Recaro designed sports seats and complete state-of-the-art technologies. The list of everything this vehicle includes is endless and since the announcement of this BRAND-NEW model was only released a couple days ago, there is no information about a release date or pricing information just yet –– so stay tuned!

Helpful Tips for Traveling with a Pet

NORWALK, Ohio – These days we just can't go anywhere without our furry friends – but who can blame us? They are truly members of the family! Whether you are heading down the street or taking off for a big road trip, we just can't leave those big, lovable, puppy-dog eyes behind. No matter how big or small the outing with your pal may be, it's important to be aware of a few things before cruising on the open road. To ensure your precious cargo is safe and happy throughout the entire trip check out these Helpful Tips for Traveling with a Pet! 

Helpful Tips for Traveling with a Pet

• You would never let you child ride without a seat belt, would you? Well, same should go for your pet! Be sure your little buddy is always secure in some type of carrier that is properly attached to the vehicle. This will not only benefit the safety of your four-legged friend, but will keep your free from distraction and harm as well. 

• Consider bringing along something your pet is familiar with like a special toy or blanket. Pets love the scent of something well-known because it gives them a sense of comfort and contentness, helping to eliminate any fear they may have while riding in the car. 

• Just like us, it's critical to always make sure your four-legged friend is hydrated. Pack a frozen bowl of water for them to lick – no more messy water spills all over the car!

• If you know you have a long road trip ahead, take the time to walk or play with your pet beforehand. This will help them to get most of their energy out, resulting in a relaxing car ride for all. 

• Before you hit the road, it's important to do some research. Investigate the pet-friendly hotels, restaurants, and parks along the way. This way, both you and your pet can benefit from a well deserved break together. 

• Before any long trip, it's crucial to make sure your pet is up to date on all vaccines – preventing them from picking up any threats that could be lurking in the new environment. 

• Most importantly, and we are sure you've heard this time and time again – NEVER leave your pet alone in a vehicle! Even if you think the temperature outside is just right, whether it's cold or hot, the temperature in a vehicle can change in a matter of minutes, leading to serious health problems for our little friends.

In need of a vehicle that will accommodate all the needs of your family, including your furry friend? Take a look at the 2014 Lincoln Navigator – it's just the vehicle for a family of any size! Not exactly what your looking for? No problem! There is something here for everyone at Don Tester Ford Lincoln! We make the process of purchasing your car comfortable, exciting, and above all, honest. To contact one of our friendly and reputable team members call (888) 857-2161, or stop by our dealership located at 2800 US Highway 250 South in Norwalk, OH.
