3ponies Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Morning, I have my 2nd SHO since 2010 and we are on our 3rd EcoBoost. A SHO, Flex, 2013 Escape Baby Boost that replaced the Flex and I am looking at a 2013 SHO tomorrow. I have 3 Mustangs and a need for Speed ( except in the Escape ). I enjoy reading about how people use their cars and getting ideas. Chased a SHO around the track last Monday at the AutoBahn in Chicago. He as good driver for sure but my Roush Black Jack had some unfair advantages. The SHO has been a great car for me and I look forward to driving one for many years.

Paulford8 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Welcome! The SHO is great and has more shock value at the track then a Mustang would. Your crazier then me! I am actually trying to sell my 1 and only Mustang (coyote swap car) to buy a DD (dont like racking miles up on the SHO). With a future plan of a SC Eleanor clone. Dont think the wife would ever let me have 3 at once.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Welcome aboard Rick! :welcome: Fantastic to have another Illinois Eco owner registered here on EBOF! :thumb: You certainly came to the right place with our community focusing on anything, and everything EcoBoost related from FMC. We look forward to your involvement here & the Autobahn's not all that far from me, but admittedly, have only been there as a guest spectator. Hopefully our paths will cross sometime. Ttyl.

3ponies Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I love the SHO, I traded a 2008 STS V for my AWD 2010 SHO and what a difference in handling. This is a great car and is right up there withe the Jag S Type R I had. We'll see tomorrow if I upgrade to the 2013. I am a big Pony lover and do a fair amount of Track events. While we have been 3 ponies for about 15 years I can see becoming 2 ponies in the not too distance downsize future. I hardly ever use the 65 anymore.

griggs95 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Awesome stable you got there on "Mustang Dr."! I'd like to have another SHO too because I love this car that much, especially with the tune!! The steering wheel alone makes me want a 2013, lol.

Echo42987 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Very nice! Look froward to seeing if you upgrade our not. I myself will probably wait a few more years for the jump as I just got my SHO not that long ago. But already am in love with it. Good to see another IL member.

gregoire Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Welcome, thinking about a 2013 also, probably wait till spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ponies Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I did the jump, I will pick it up in a few days, Love the color. I know a lot of folks don't agree with it but I am having the tires swapped for AS Michelins. I can't believe the upgrades from 2010 to 2013. What a fun car! I enjoyed the test drive a lot!

bpd1151 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Damn you, i'm quite jealous! I'm sure you'll continue letting the community know all the great differences in that new, fancy schmansy '13 versus the prior MY's. Gggrrrrr..... LOL Seriously though, looks fantastic! I'll agree, the changes are pretty immense. I had the pleasure of riding in fellow EBOF member mac98sho's '13 at this years Nat'l SHO Convention as he hurled it (and me) around the track at BIR..... What a blast! Enjoy! :hail: Mike :yo: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac98SHO Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I am partial to that color.... :whoo: Welcome to the Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 If you have a choice, don't let the dealer clean it up for you. Don't want to start off with swirl marks & such already! Take to a pro to have it cleaned and sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Seriously though, looks fantastic! I'll agree, the changes are pretty immense. Enjoy! :hail: /QUOTE] For real. Honestly, the SHO was nowhere on my radar untill i started seeing the 2013 comercials they have been running on SPEED TV. When I do see the prior model years, they are "sleepers" but i like the distinction the 2013 provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ponies Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The Steering wheel is way cool along with many other features. I would expect to pick it up tomorrow or Thursday as the dealer is doing the tire swap and we just agreed on what to put on the car. I left the 10 SHO at the dealer yesterday when I made the deal as the garage floor is being worked on and we have 6 cars to jockey around. Thanks for all the good feedback.

3ponies Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 New AS Tires are on and the car is home for most of this past week. Only have 130 miles on it. Off to cruise today! I am enjoying the cool upgrades from the 2010 SHO to this one. I can feel the better performance ride. Makes me want to go to the Autobahn!

Leadfoot Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Welcome to the site! Looks like we have similar taste in cars. Between the Roush and Shelby, which do you like better for the track / street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombshellSteph Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Only color worth getting in my opinion, although it would be extremely biased lol. I love Ponies too. It's the little bit of joy I have when i do work on my husband's. He tries to do things with me but I tell him "I have a plan and you're going to slow me down". He's a good man though. Watches the kids and all so I can tinker under the hoods or detail the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we have similar taste in cars.Between the Roush and Shelby, which do you like better for the track / street? I love the Shelby Vert for cruising but the Roush Black Jack is built for the Road Track. It handles like a dream and is very quick. I have run it a little over 145MPH at Road America and it just keeps getting better with a little help from Roush & Kenny Brown. The SHO is my third and I have loved them all. I too had 2 LS cars and 2 Jag s types so Iw ould say we do have very similar tastes in cars. Oh yes and a 65 Fast Back and we had a 66 GT Mustang Vert too!

bpd1151 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Whereabout's are you from in IL? I am from the quad cities. Well, a bit of a drive from you..... I am essentially less than 10min away from the racetrack in Joliet, IL. On any given Summer night, I can hear the roar of the various races held there.

3ponies Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am in Winfield just off 88. We should plan a lunch sometine for Illinois SHO folks and see who can make it. I do track events at the Autobahn down by the race track but I use my Roush Mustang. There was a SHO in our run group last event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
