Ford News: 2016 Shelby GT350R Has Ford’s Most Powerful Engine

Posted on June 8, 2015 by admin

Ford fans who visited the L.A. Auto Show in November 2014 saw the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 – soon to be available at Johnson Brothers Ford. This track-focused powerhouse features a 5.2-liter V-8 – naturally aspirated – that has a stupid redline and makes outrageous horsepower. In fact, this is the most powerful engine that Ford has ever built.

The GT350 also features Ford’s first adaptive magneto rheological suspension; and it also features unique aerodynamic bodywork.

The engine puts out 526 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 429 pound-feet of torque at 4,750 rpm. The engine also redlines at an almost-unheard-of 8,250 rpm. The engine is backed by a six-speed manual transmission.

The MagneRide suspension is tuned for the track and features new anti-roll bars and spring rates. The lowered ride height makes this ‘Stang hug the road; and it also features revised bump stops and bushings, and cross-axis ball joints.

A humongous carbon fiber rear wing and revised front splitter help to maximize downforce, keeping the GT350R on the road instead of in the air. As if this wasn’t racy enough, the calipers, contrast stitching on the seats, badging, body stripes and the stripe on the steering wheel are all red.

The need for speed means that you get to do without some comforts. But those who race already know this. The GT350R has no air conditioning, no rear seats, no stereo, no cargo floor and no trunk upholstery. All of that adds weight and weight means you go slower.

Additional items you’ll find missing include the backup camera, a spare tire, a can of sealer and exhaust resonators. The wheels are carbon fiber – a first for major automakers. That’s even rare for the exotic supercars. The 19-inch composite wheels save 13 pounds per wheel – that’s more than a tenth of a second in the racing world – and yes, that tenth of a second makes a big difference. The wheels sport Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires with a rubber compound.

Now, if you’re crazy enough to do it, you can get an optional electronics packages that adds touch screen navigation, dual-zone air conditioning and an audio system with seven speakers… but who wants that over speed?

Visit Johnson Brothers Ford

While the GT350 and the GT350R are not expected to be released until later this year, it’s probably a good idea to get in line now. Stop by Johnson Brothers Ford for more information about the 2016 GT350 and its stripped counterpart, the GT350R.

Chocolate Chip Desserts For The Road

Posted on May 13, 2015 by admin

Some chocolate chip recipes are just not made for the road, but you can convert them for the road. Or, if you’re bored with a certain dessert, you can always change it up. Before you head out, be sure to stop by Johnson Brothers Ford to have your vehicle serviced before you head out on your road trip.

Brownies

Make your favorite brownie recipe. After all the ingredients are incorporated, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips or ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter or white chocolate chips. You can optionally heat ¼ cup heavy cream until it reaches a simmer. Remove it from the heat and stir in ½ cup chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are melted. Pour over the brownies.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Twist

Make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. You can use all chocolate chips or you can split the amount of chocolate chips with peanut butter or white chocolate chips. Instead of making cookies, grease and flour an 9-inch by 11-inch cake pan. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until a toothpick comes out clean – about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the amount your recipe makes. If the dough is thin in the pan, use a 9-inch by 9-inch pan for thicker bars. And, for thinner bars, start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Mix up your favorite cake mix. Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. Fill cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Bake as directed for your recipe. Frost with your favorite frosting.
