Torrie this is amazing I can see a whole new SHO cult starting up.

Modders get to work.

Find DBK where ever he is hiding and send him the tune for his.
He can run over to Miland Drag way in these sub 60 temps and then post it up on youtube. I can see the headlines now stock Taurus in the 12's:banana

The speed is really impressive; but somebody needs to do something about the pipes. This is an exhaust tune for your grandmother (assuming she's not a gearhead at all)

SHO finally arrived

My wife's SHO came in yesterday. It's a very nice car. Ford did a great job.

Looks good man and I would have to totally agree with your sentiments. If your looking to turn the boost up a bit and get her in the 12 second range I can easily achieve that for you :biggrin:biggrin

Yeah, from what I hear, there are already 2 SHO's in the high 12's. Very nice. In the hands of owners less than a month and already knocking a second off the times with nothing more than tuning. Any updates on your car torrie?

Nice looking ride Ed! The second my mortgage is gone (5 years or less now), I will add a 2010/11/12 to my stable of SHO's. I have owned ONLY SHO's (besides work trucks and mc's) for the last 11 years, but it was looking like I was going to have to break the mold, until the 2010's came out! Congrats to FORD and all 2010 owners!

My car is knee deep in the development cycle in the process of making more power as the days progress :wink

Ah its not my intent, I have really been focused the past week on getting my GT ready for Rally IV so that inadvertently shifted my priorities a bit. But past next week its going to be on big time.


I spent the last month working on the SHO daily and didn't get much seat time in the GT as I usually do. After spending the past week back in the drivers seat made me wonder what the heck was I waiting for :lol:lol:lol

Today turned out to be really awesome and a lot of knowledge gained and continuing to grow daily. The car just gets faster and faster its pretty ridiculous right now without any physical modifications at all. Getting a full grasp on the calibration aspect of this car is paramount to anything in the pipeline right now. Peak to peak we saw about 60WHP gain with 80WHP gain at lower RPM's
