Just picked up a 2013 taurus sho with pp last weekend. Coming from a 2006 silverado ss with heads, cam, long tube headers, corsa exhaust and magnacharger blower. Stepped into the dark side - Never thought I'd own a Ferd, but enjoying this ride so much already. Looking to add some more smiles per gallon in the new ride soon enough..

Congrats, the SHO is a great car!

I've owned GMs (TBSS, GTO), Dodges (Magnum R/T, Durango), and Fords (F-250, SHO) and various imports.  Ford makes some great stuff just keeps getting better.

Welcome to the community, xlr8, congrats on your new ride, it's a beaut!  Sounds like you had a pretty tricked out Silverado too!  Pics of the S?  On the road to modding hte SHO, are you looking for "giggles" or "maniacal laughter"? :D

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 for the replies and info fellas! I've already done led's in the interior and exterior. Added the daytime bright lights puddle light kit. I'll most likely stick with cosmetic mods for now, as it is a partial daily driver. Tune is on the short list though as I know how much a tune will wake any vehicle up.

shodded, it's a partial daily (When I don't want to drive my commuter car) and I drive 120 mile round trip to and from work. I'd like to keep it reliable, but I'm not against throwing a few bills for added smiles for those spirited driving moments. haha

Here's a pic and a walkaround/idle vid of the ss..
