Hello all!
I just purchased a 2013 SHO with 20k miles. Loving it so far. I moved and changed positions at work 6 months back which facilitated moving to a different office. My commute went from 7 miles round trip to 70. I had a 2005 Navigator and bought a used Altima to commute with. Not a bad car but a plain econobox. After a road trip which we decided to take the Altima for milage reasons I had enough and wanted a a nicer, faster more capable car. Just wanted to take a look at the SHO and MKS(which didn't d it for me) I had to have it.

What he said, I dead hooked today from ~40 and scared myself a bit. Car spins in the same conditions when it is a bit colder, but it warmed up this weekend. For a 4400lb car they can move out if done right.

Welcome aboard, and I am sure you'll love it here.

Welcome to the community, LostnEye, congrats on your new ride!  Do you tend to mod your cars, or keep them stock?  And definitely post pics of your SHO!!!

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 everyone. I usually do mod my cars. I knew a tune would be a definate if I bought one of these cars. I'm thinking prob 3 bar and DPs along with it. I want to get used to how she runs/handles first and do some maintainence like PTU fluid first.
I'll post some pics once the weather clears and I can give her a wash but she's just another tuxedo black car.
