I have been looking to get into a SHO for some time now.  I Had my eyes on a 2012 SHO with 22,000 mile was ready to pull the trigger but then my brother-in-law who works at the dealer said ford just released a bunch of rebates.  Long story short I ended up with a cheaper payment on a new 2015 SHO and have not looked back.  got out of a 2006 mini cooper S

Thanks

Welcome, Brandon, to you & your '15 SHO!  You could have kept the Mini & stuffed it in the SHO's ginormous trunk for your about-town trips :D
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!

Here are a couple of pictures.  Not sure what I'm going to do to it yet, probably nothing for a little while.  What are the standard mods people go with?

Black leather interior, non-pp, nav, driver asst package

Tune/3bar MAP/plugs gapped to 0.030/cooler TStat/CAI for the first & largest step up in performance.  Add downpipes/catback.  Then larger turbos.  Finally engine block upgrade.

H&R Springs for suspension.  Megan coilovers not yet available.

Aftermarket Brake Pads (maybe rotors also).  Untested on the '15, so don't know what the difference in performance would be.

EDIT:  Methanol injection is also a great power adder (thanks for the reminder, wasinger!)

Can't forget the care plan...;)

Detailing products, routine and the thing I wish I would of bought right off the rip, 3m clear bra to protect the fragile front end from chipping.

No love for the meth users? I would think meth should be one of the top mods.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.
