The "attachments and other options" doesn't seem to work for me.
That is a dealership loaner?  nice, aftermarket intake and window decals.
The pics are mine and posted a couple to make sure the feature is working.  Z  :)

I can get the jpg in the window by "choose file" but not into the actual post.   Does something have to be enabled or am I just as stupid as I look?

Attachments will only post as thumbnails at the bottom of the post.  If you want to take it one step further, you have to then open the attachment for viewing, grab the link address, then post that address back in the body of the post, like you normally would with any external site.  Helps to put the IMG tag around the images though, not as friendly on this site as the DIRECT LINK on photobucket.  So first the "open tag" i.e. "<IMG>" then the link address then the "close tag" i.e. "</IMG>" minus all the " of course :)

Yeah, a bit of effort.

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!

Thanks but I was just trying to see how to do it.  I don't need to post a picture now but I will at some point.  I have always used photobucket but I am not paying them $400.

I had a PP SHO for a loaner yesterday.   I enjoyed driving it but was surprised at how firm the suspension is compared to my Continental.  As awesome as SHOs are with tuning, driving a stock one was a bit underwhelming.   Brake boosting for all it was worth, I couldn't break the tires loose on pavement.  Seemed like there was quite a bit of turbo lag, too. 

On the bright side, these cars are very comfortable, quiet and solid feeling.  It is the tune the puts icing on the cake, though!  I am not telling you guys anything you didn't already know but this was the first SHO I have driven since the gen 4 was introduced for the 2010 model year.

Weird because attaching pictures never works for me on this forum. And my photobucket pictures are still working. IDK. Maybe I am special?

What ever happened to the SHOUTBOX?

Did anyone check functionality after the latest round of updates?

I'll agree with you on that one.  The PP rides hard.  My terminator has steeda sport lowering springs and it still rides way softer.  It's too bad Ford didn't do some sort of variable dampening.  It's almost like they said "aww just crank the spring rates way the hell up there."

Yeah the PP do ride hard.  That's why I was very surprised how little difference there was between the stock springs and the H&R's.

How do the PP springs and the Megan's compare?

I'm pretty happy with the adjustable firmness options in my MKS.  It only has 3 settings, but it gets the job done.  Full soft is a bit floaty, middle setting is best 90% of the time, and full firm is great when driving aggressively.  I'm kind of surprised that they didn't include the adjustable dampeners in the SHO.
