I have a friend that wants me to race his buddies BMW 335i. I guess it has a tune and intake. He has ridden in my car a few times and with the LMS tune and intake he said it would walk on the BMW. Stay tuned for the outcome. We are trying to set up a time to go out and give it a go. I did see a guy today with I think a 2011 or 2012 SHO. It was nice, lowered tinted with a intake and exhaust. He couldnt remember what the name of the place was that tuned it (kinda wierd) but ok. It was a nice car. I told him he should join up here.

I ate them without a tune regularly.... hehe ..... You're gonna embarrass the poor guy!  He'll be having nightmares about the attack of the killer Taurus!

A brand new GTR rolled up behind me today... Lol
I tried to mess with him but he wouldn't have it.. Then my buddy at the dealership sent me a pic of it and I realized they just got it off the truck and it was the tech driving it from behind dealership to lot...
Lol
Car is insane..

Ok I need to get some feedback on something. I live in livonia MI where I see a LOT of M plated and camo cars from all makes and models. I also have ROUSH, Livernois, MRT, Lingenfelter, CDC, and many more places Im missing. I also live in a area where people are MOD crazy. I mean during the summer its not hard to find someone to play with (I cant wait to hurt some feelings BTW). When I had my fusion I always got messed with. Now with the SHO I dont get a second look. It seems even though our cars have been out for 4 production years a LOT of people dont know a damn thing about the SHO-MKS, or even Flex or X sport. I see a lot of SHO's everywhere and yet we still get no respect. I do kinda like that part of it though. I love the looks when they get beat. Is the 3.5 E/B still that far under the radar?

No, but the SHO is! ...Thanks largely to Ford   ...I am also pretty sure that mod crazy folks like you describe have a completely different image of the Taurus than the one you can SHO them!

I have a friend with a STI that says he doesnt want to run me and another friend with a STI that thinks we would be a good run. What I really want is for our local track to open so I can see what I can do in the 1/4 mile.

Looking at your mods, if you are willing, I would really consider lowering the car with H&R springs. That will cut you 0.2 sec. in the 1/4 mile with a better launch and better aerodynamic. I don't know what year is his STI, but the old ones run about 14 sec. and the recent ones low 13's. So, with a tune only (intake doesn't add power), you could and should win. Also, he is manual and you are auto, so you can't miss. Hopefully your tires are not all seasons and they still have a good thread... Good tires are good for another 0.2 sec.
A stock 2012 SHO non-PP on all-seasons would run about 13.6-14.1 sec and one with a tune, springs and good tires 12.8-13.3.

I have never seen an STI stock running the 1/4 mile under 13 sec.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I have the stage 4 LMS tune and I can do 0-100 in about 12 seconds. The stage 4+ is comming in the near future...

I belittled a Dodge Charger SRT8 on my way to work this evening...Destroyed him on a 0-60mph pull from a light, couldn't even see him as I came out of a circle entrance ramp, and nosed him out on a 60-90mph pull a little further down the road. The driver looked confused and frustrated all three times.

I didn't know that they still made the stage 4, I thought stage 4+ was an improvement of stage 4, so I don't know why one would choose stage 4... I had asked to modify stage 4 to add a bit of torque management, but to increase boost as well and stage 4+ felt much better for the car.

If you are stock, the driver of the SRT8 must have missed a shift, because from 60-90mph, the SRT8 is much faster than a stock SHO. From 0-60mph however, AWD is a no brainer, unless at the track with glue for him...
The trap speed of an SRT8 is around 114mph and your car is 103mph, that is a big difference.
Just don't bet against one on a roll based on that experience : )

The stage 4 is with the SCTX3 and the 4+ is the mycal. I have the X3 so the support isnt as good. Thats why most just get the mycal.
