Yes, there is a Kalamazoo and I have been here for most of my life. I have a 72 year old body with a 15 year old brain. Have had Mustangs but wanted a car that would perform and I could drive in all conditions. This winter really tested the SHO and it passed.

Like to hunt, fish, shoot USPSA and drive the SHO. Retired from AT&T and just keep going.

Great hobbies!... I love smallbore target and pistol silhouette.

The SHO is truly a great platform for sure.

Thanks all. I got the SHO 1 year ago. I really love the ability of this car to serve all my quirks. A quite highway cruiser, a car which attracts attention at the local cruise-in`s, and a car I can track and enjoy. Could be lighter but .....

There is talk of more extensive use of aluminum in future MYs of Ford offerings, and that may show up in the SHO.  If so, we could see a weight loss of 3-400 lbs easy!

My concern is that the SHO might lose some power if they go with the 2.7

The CGI block will allow them to crank up the power though, so it may be a moot point.

Yes, I would definitely be interested in that. Sort of that GR, Kzoo and Lansing area? It's all (roughly) an hour from each other.
