10 SHO goes 12.75

[Quik]

just more shit to make things more complicated to say “hey we have technology” Ford did this with the OHC v8s.

simplicity works best!

Oil squirters died in the 90s.

Incorrect!

Never thought my car would be light compared to something.
Didn’t like the SHO the first time around, but this one doesn’t seem bad.
No way that thing is running 12’s stock being that heavy.

I’ll quote what he said on another board.

@beefcake

my idea of a tune is a pcm tune, that is all the car has. so the car responds better than a civic to a tune.

and for the record the boost was upped 4psi not 12

the car is tuned the exact same way every other car i have owned from mustangs to corvettes, you make a file upload via a tuner

there is no magic there, but the car responds better

n/a cars on average will pick up 5 to 15 from a tune
super charged cars usually 20-40
turbo cars 40-60

there is more in the programming than just boost, there is also torque management in the trans to help the launch, bumping the rev limiter, etc…

and to be honest, there is quite a bit left in the car too

so, if you know of a better way to define a tune, please let me know

@beefcake

those are some helos i put on, i had the stock rims powdercoated black, they are actually back on the car now. they were the stock tires though.

i put the f1’s back on the stock wheels and had some all season rsa’s put on the helos

next month when it starts staying cold i’ll run them all the time the f1’s are about $300 a pop and you don’t get a ton of miles out of them, so i’ll be saving the tires a bit this winter.

i liked the helo’s but with the deep dish, they look more like 18’s than 20’s

i sent the car out today to get the headlights and taillights done and have the car debadgesd

heres what she looks like as of right now

@Magnusen

Starting price of 38k is pretty steep for a “taurus” imo… impressive though. I’d take the Mustang 1st, even at that price

it is a lot of car though, i sold my 600 rwhp mustang to buy one after driving it, i am really impressed with the car

[BlkP42E]

that car is sexy

[Zack01GC]

Good looking car. Glad the wheels in the video are no longer on it.

Maybe if I said “oil squirters are so 1995” you would have understood what I wrote. :doh:

maybe you should learn how to express yourself then?

[T70_Tsi]

It was all in the comprehension, just had to dumb it down a bit.

[spoolinsteve]

I like oil squirters?

[T70_Tsi]

my salesman stopped by my office a couple weeks ago and said come outside and take this car for a drive. i went out and was a new sho. it is a fun car to drive. it had paddle shifters and was loaded up. i think it was around 40k sticker.
