MTaurusSHO Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have been lurking and reading here since I got the car. A lot of great info here. I never been much of a Ford guy but I was in need of a family car since I just became a father. I wanted something safe, fast, good on gas and AWD. So I got the SHO, I've been impressed by these EB motors since they came out. I wish GM would get on the ball lol. I'm a member on LS1Tech and PerformanceTrucks. I also have a 2002 Z28 with a 408ci and a F1 procharger, and a 2009 Silverado with bolt ons. So you see how I been a Chevy guy for a while. I'm not here to talk crap or anything, my preference is GMs, but this SHO is impressive. I keep telling myself I won't mod it.....let's see how long that lasts. Just wanted to introduce myself....:yo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Welcome aboard €nd thanks for coming out from behind the shadows and registering here to become part of the EB family :welcome: You sound like you're in the same boat as a lot of us (family, need of a large sedan, but still wanting the comfort, speed, performance and handling) The SHO's and other EB variants from FMC seem to fit that bill pretty well. This is my 2nd, personally owned Ford product (bought a used one from family way back in the day) and i've never been terribly brand loyal, having owner many products from both Domestic & Foreign automakers. But i'll agree, seems FMC hit the ball out of the park with this one. I suspect you'll end up head'n down the mod path like most of us have, seems inevitable really. Especially given the performance increases gained in relation to the expenditures. Anyhow, enjoy all the info posted here thus far, be sure to take advantage of the few Supporting Vendors we do have, and all of the products that they offer. Pics when time permits!

MTaurusSHO Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have the pictures on my phone.. I'll post up when I get on my computer. It's a tuxedo black on black 20in optional wheels. It's a non PP. Only mods are limo tint on back windows and 25% up front, and a escort 9500ix that I'm going to wire directly with their live smart cord and a blend mount. I'll post up once I get a chance.

BombshellSteph Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi there and welcome! I'm a mom of two little ones and got the SHO for the space but also the power it punched too. I looked at the SRT's by Dodge and it just didn't work out with the carseats and I refuse to touch a Chrysler. I was a fan of GM's until I dropped close to $60k on a 2011 Enclave... then I realized how cheaply made the car was and how they were cutting corners with things but charging an arm and a leg. Went to Ford for the Explorer... wasn't satisfied and now I am completely in love with my SHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74d34h Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Welcome! I had a 2006 Trailblazer SS with some decent modifications. Very glad I had an extended warranty, and got rid of it in 2010. I missed it, and after laughing at the Jeep SRT (nobody is buying them and the dealers have leftover models on the lot yet no discounts) I decided to look into the SHO and haven't looked back. So far I have added an Airaid intake, LMS Tune, 20% Tint and about to order up the H&R Springs. Downpipe will be following. This car is just so much fun and it turns heads and sparks many conversations everywhere I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livernois Motorsports Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Welcome! Your car ran the same ET as our shop car stock. If interested in a tuner, send me a pm or give me a call. They are worth around 1 second in the 1/4 mile. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTaurusSHO Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I don't know if I'm ready to void the warranty so soon.... Tempting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
