Hi All,

I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Dave S and I am out of the Midwest here in St. Louis, MO where we get crazy weather swings (100 plus summers and cold winters 10 and below).  I picked up this 12' Ford Taurus SHO because I am a young guy 25 years old in traveling engineering sales (automation/manufacturing quality control equipment)  and have trouble committing to luxury without performance.  Speaking of performance when I am not tinkering with my SHO I tinker often with my 06' Pontiac GTO.  I have tracked this car a few times.  I am basically an avid DIY and find forums like these EXTREMELY beneficial.

So far I have added the Airaid intake, and installed custom sound system. (see thread).

Honestly I do not know how much more I will mod this car....but I always say that then end up modding. ha

So far one thread and received great help/feedback.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome!   I bought a 2006 BOM A4 GTO off the show room floor back in 2006.   Drove it for 33K miles and had a blast with it! Still sometimes with I still had her!  Best with a tune and exhaust on street tires was a 13.04 at 109 with a losusy 2.0 60' in Phoenix. 

I do like my SHO more though.   The SHO will beat a tuned LS2 goat with a tune + 3bar, and down pipes.   No traction issues in the street or wheel hop is a big bonus!   I do miss those seats!

Welcome to the community, officially!  If you are into hot rodding your SHO, or figuring out various electromechanical puzzles, this is a great place to be :)  Post up some pics please!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Welcome! Loved those Holden cars. Too bad ford didn't do the same and bring the blue oval Aussies over here. I'd probably own a falcon xr6t instead of the SHO :)
