Leadfoot Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Too bad he didn't have the PP (A/S tires and regular steering wheel), might have heaped more praise on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I talked to this guy on youtube, and he said he didnt' realize until later that they didn't have the PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TractorAK Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 As soon as he said he had the Adaptive cruise I new he didn't have the PP. He did have the 20's which is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoMoCoSho Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have PP wheels too. I think he needs to get a PP SHO and edit his review. It is kind of frustrating that us non PP guys can never get our cars to step out of line. I'm wondering how much of a hindrance this will be on the track...

BIGFOOT Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 i know its apples to marbles but with mustangs you can disable the TCS with a tune. seems like you should be able to do that with the SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Eh, overall, it was a fair opinion of the SHO. As were some of the resulting comments left behind by various viewers. To that end, I also left a few comments of my own. Nice find, and that emerald green exterior was pretty sinister IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if dealer was swapping them out with buyers who didn't like them when they bought their PP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx78 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'd sell you mine if i could find a suitable replacement. I like the ones from my '10 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd like a set of permachromed pre 2013 20's better....I find the car too dark with the 2013 PP wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I send him this video and told him that 2010-2012 model for $600 you could buy just the wheels but did not get 12S sport package. So no TCS BUTTON.

bpd1151 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yup. Mine was a Non-PP 2010, and had the 20" wheels as an optional upgrade. So, they're out there, and available. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 The 2013 non pp SHOs came standard with the 19 inch, but the 20's were available as an option. The 20 inch rims were standard on the PP. I believe this was also the case for the 10-12 SHOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2010 I saw 1 car at the dealer with the wheels only opt,2011 2-3 more,2012 a lot more an not many 12 every hit dealer before 13 got here. But at $600 wheels only & $1000 for 12S(PP), Why not buy 12S? 2013 if wheels only is still $600 but 12S-PP went up to $2000. There will be alot more wheels only car just for the look. I think this what happen to the AUTOHOLICS guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all-in, I am happy with it because once you lower it with H&R's and you put decent brake pads and/or rotors, you get a custom PP, but you still can have a spare wheel and ACC, just the gear ratio that changes, but personally, I prefer the gear ratio of the non-PP as it gets you to 60mph in second gear.

SHO Rod Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 And the "wheels only" option got you the all-season tires which I suspect do better in less than ideal weather, would not prevent you from getting the adaptive cruise, and also the less jarring ride. I can see a lot of folks opting for the wheels only to get the look without wanting the other features of the PP. For someone that's using the SHO as a daily driver, I don't imagine the upgraded PP brake pads would be all that appealing either. And, as already mentioned, there's some comfort in having an actual spare wheel and tire as well versus the can of flat fix and compressor. -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navytrev Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wait you cant have the adaptive cruise and PP package? Im about to be mad! (running to car to check the window sticker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yes people found out when doing the tranny cooler retrofit that the ACC unit and cooler cannot be mounted in the same space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 ACC=non PP. And it is me that has tried to retro fit PP auxiliary to a car that has ACC. There isn't room for both with current configuration and therefore reason why you can't have both options. And for those that are still wondering about, I have yet to try and find a work around. But I believe its do able, hopefully over Xmas break I will dig in to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
