It felt like I was reading one of those paid-per-word articles. Tons of redundant fluff.

Ohh yeah, clearly written by a bored intern. Who else would write a sentence like this, "The foundation of any sports car is undoubtedly the brakes; therefore, brakes are a major part of the GT350 magic."
Id consider the foundation of a proper sports car to be chassis tuning, but what do I know? |
Has to be an intern...
Like these two paragraphs? It takes some real talent to pump as much fluff into these descriptions.
"But with our obsession for detail, we just couldnât stop there. Our attention to detail drove us all the way down to which way the springs coiled, therefore requiring new lower control arms. This racer was designed, engineered and built so the springs, sway bars and dampers work together as one finely tuned system. We also added new lightweight chassis components and a set of Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport tires wrapped around lightweight, yet incredibly stiff forged aluminum wheels. So yeah, the GT350 will deliver a special rush whenever you strap yourself in behind the wheel."
"Balancing downforce with aerodynamic drag is always one of the biggest challenges a team of car designers can face. But Ford did it with a unique, detailed approach that centered on making it imperative that every single component play a major part in the total overall performance of the system. Itâs a very hard thing to pull off, but our team of designers and engineers wouldnât settle for less. So itâs not just that the GT350 has wider aluminum front fenders and a unique aluminum hood. Itâs also that the front and rear fascias, splitter, rockers and rear valance with integrated diffuser all work together as a team â each and every one of them. And only as a team working together can this system keep the beautiful, powerful, exciting and intimidating GT350 racer pressed firmly to the track.
The Shelby® GT350 isnât just a combination of "go fast" parts because any tuner can build one of those. The GT350 is a specifically engineered machine where every system works dynamically together as one. No one else can make a car that performs to a world-class level on all fronts as well as living up to Ford durability standards. That truly sets this beast apart. No one but Ford Performance can make a car that performs like this, yet still possesses everyday driveability. We engineered the GT350 so you will say â from the race track to LA city traffic, the GT350 can do it all."
..."so yeah."
