Someone a while back wanted to know if there was a cross drilled pisto on the performance package SHO,and ran across this article http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1205_2013_ford_taurus_sho_performance_package_first_test/photo_05.html

I believe that is the article that sold me on the PP. It was PP or die when I was SHOpping.

One of the most interesting aspects of that article is the specs provided for the PTU cooling - less 75 degrees, compared to the non cooled unit. Not bad!

I'd settle for a way to clean the backup camera.  Totally worthless after driving in the snow.  I see the '16 Explorer will have it, but why so long for someone to do this?

Can't remember who it was but I know some auto makers put a washer jet in front of the camera. It's odd how long it takes for tech to be adopted. Just like back up cameras used to be far and few. Now it's standard on almost everything.

Hyundai backup cameras are hideaway. When you select reverse, it flips out. And then select out of reverse and it hides again. Not sure how long that'll last though. It suck if that mechanism/motor failed. Lol

On the 0-60 topic.

Wallaceracing.com has an easy 0-60 calculator based off of 1/8 mile time and speed. Has my best trip to the track at a 3.8. Not bad for a 4 door family sedan...lol

That's awsome! Now all we need are more aftermarket parts. Like a HPFP!!! This could be good.
