Belli Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Finally introducing myself after lurking around since I bought my 2013 SHO w/PP back in April. From what I can tell I got the first one to land in GA which was a surprise to both the dealer and I. Its probably the best car I've owned so far and is a blast to drive. Most everyone is shocked to realize its a Taurus and I get compliments on it every time I stop for gas. The SHO has every option except the adaptive cruise, which I couldn't get with the PP. Its a far cry from the 88 Taurus I grew up with and makes my Cobra feel very primitive by comparison. I know theres a red 2010 with blacked out trim and fully debadged in my area, seen the car on here as well. That car was specifically the one which made my mind up about getting mine. We have yet to cross paths since that day. The SHO has not been trouble free though. Around 10k miles the main engine harness was eaten up by a leaky battery. The dealer fixed it without incident and the car has been awesome ever since. Have no real complaints there. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1190[/ATTACH] I also purchased some H&R springs but haven't gotten around to installing them yet, may wait for summer to do so. The shops in my area want way too much to install them so I'll probably end up doing it myself in the end. If anyone on the North side of ATL knows of a good affordable place I'd appreciate a heads up. Nice to be here, everyone seems kind and informative. A few more pics of her better angles.

SHOdded Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Welcome, and tx for the pix! Doug of FPS (http://www.fordspecialists.com) has been working on/modifying SHOs for a LOOOONG time. Worth a call. May also be some forum members in this or other SHO forums knowledgeable/willing to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjht Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I also purchased some H&R springs but haven't gotten around to installing them yet, may wait for summer to do so. The shops in my area want way too much to install them so I'll probably end up doing it myself in the end. If anyone on the North side of ATL knows of a good affordable place I'd appreciate a heads up. May want to contact Jeff Harris, he's in Dallas, GA, I think the name of his shop is Mo's. He's known for his work on Mustangs but I know he can work on anything, especially Ford (he use to work for Team Ford in Marrietta). I've had work done by him before and he was very reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSHO Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Awesome looking car brother and welcome aboard. I'm new on here as well. That car looks nice. I'm thinking about geting the eighbach springs instead though, The roads in NYC are not as forgiving as the ones in ATL, especially since Sandy went crazy on us here in Staten Island. Hope everything works out well for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get Rick and Doug together and buy the Meth/Down pipe from Rick and Doug to install it that would be good.
