NFSBOSS said:I had a 1991 SHO that was all white with white wheels and bumper guards and the hood bulge. I ran that car hard and after a run from Needles to Barstow averaging over 100 MPH is started burning oil so I sold it. I'll have to dig up some photos and scan them.
Did it have the Ecoboost V6 with twin turbos and the performance package? We're going to look at one tonight, but it doesn't have hte performance package that has all the suspension upgrades, summer tires and upgraded pads. It does have the Ecoboost though. That Ecoboost TT 6 is pretty impressive in my full size F-150 so I'd think it would move an AWD sedan pretty well ???fuhrius said:I used to have SHO's for company cars at Ford...the older ones...great cars. I preferred them over the t-bird super coupes and mustang gt's of the day.
I've spent a fair amount of time in the newer one...just about bought a dealer demo '12 for the wife...but after driving it we both came way a little underwhelmed, frankly. it has a bit of a claustraphobic (sp?) cabin feel to it and the performance was a little ho-hum...
Will be curious to know how you liked it. We have a red one here in town with the performance package and it looks really good - plus the dealer is selling it for $38K; $7K off a $45 K sticker price. I could see that scenario too where wife has the SHO, but mine loves her Escape and wouldn't spend the extra money to move to the SHO.cloud9 said:OK so now we're going to look at one tomorrow night......for the wife of course : She has an '08 Eddie Bauer Explorer and the '08 Poonstang and thinking about going down to one car. We traded her 300C back in '08 because of the RWD and she got stuck in the church parking lot and I had to go dig her out Do we really want one of these? It sounds pretty cool and if we do order one I'd have to get the performance package....but of course also need a set of winter wheels/tires. Not sure but we'll see after we look at it tomorrow. ???
We went and looked at them last night. The wife drove it but I didn't. She likes it and I won't be surprised if she orders one by this weekend but we'll see. She's waiting to see what the trade numbers look like on her Mustang and might wait a couple months until we get in the "season" if it's too low. The more we thought about it, the SHO without the performance package makes more sense. It's not like I'm going to track it We'd just end up buying another set of wheels and tires for winter and have to manage that. It's amazing how much equipment comes on the thing. You'd need a week to figure it all out. The park assist is pretty cool and even though I'm a pretty good parallel parker, it's about impossible to outdo the computer. As far as power, it was a bit "underwhelming" although certainly no slouch. It has more power than she needs that's for sure, but it's not slow by any means. Overall the look is pretty cool.jimprw said:Will be curious to know how you liked it.

Was it an Ecoboost or a V8?LindsayEOD said:I got to see an F150 with a Livernois tune. It was pretty nice. Idled nice. Drove nice. The owner didn't have any complaints.
