dmharvey79 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 After weeks of researching AWD sedans (mainly Audi S4 and the SHO) I decided to go with the SHO since it best fit my needs in terms of comfort, performance, pricing, etc. This car is replacing my E36 M3 coupe which I now need to sell since I have too many toys. :ohwell: I really hate to see the old M3 go, but with a growing family a smaller coupe just wasn't cutting it. On the bright side...I think the SHO has plenty of power and performance to keep my commutes interesting, not to mention the added comfort. No real plans to mod the SHO any time soon, aside from tinting the windows and maybe de-badging the rear. I'm sure at some point in the future I'll explore tuning options and maybe an aftermarket exhaust or something.

BombshellSteph Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi there and welcome! I still find reason to want to go out for a drive. Especially after putting in my CAI and the weather has been nice and cool lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Welcome aboard :welcome: M3's are pretty stout in their own right. I believe you'll enjoy the new SHO addition just as much. When she begin's to grow weary on you, you'll be amazed at how much more "umph" you'll gain by the mere addition of a tune. It'll leave you scratching your head, wondering why you waited..... but until that times comes, enjoy the SHO in it's stock form. Those '13's are pretty damn nice :thumb: Mike :yo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigPelo Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Welcome! I sold a STi for the SHO because I need more space. I thought I might miss the Subaru but it didn't happened yet! Enjoy it and forget about the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstcontact1977 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Congrats on your new SHO! I love mine too. Welcome to the Club. I live in downtown DC. You guys are right. SHOs are a rare sight in the DC area. I sort of like it cause a lot of folks aren't familiar with the car, so you get that extra interest. I'll check out the link to Manassas event. Thanks to Jo for sending. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
