It rarely gets any recognition... ever..

It consumes way too much of my time...

Aftermarket support is not exactly bountiful..

No one wants to race it... so I had to put an exhaust on it to get noticed...

When I do race people..they always looked surprised to loose!! No love..

Calling Ford for parts is ALWAYS an event.. "Yes it has the 3.5 Ecoboost.. Yes it's a 2010 before the PIs were out... no I don't want to trade it in... " etc...

E85... should be available everywhere as my SHO is always begging for more...

My wife thinks I have a girlfriend.."No, really hunny... I just need to get some data off the car one more time..."

My credit cards are never 0 balance....

The kids get confused when you call it the sho... "What show Dad?!?"

When people ask what you drive... 9 times out of ten it's never a simple answer..

Auto parts stores tend to not get the correct parts the first time...

Tune... tune.... tune... tune... tune.. did I mention tunes?!

Extended warranty...need I say more?

Meth is never the solution but always the answer...

It's a pig!

....will add more... no doubt...

Sooo true about explaining or asking do people think I'm a cop but surprised also when some people you think would have no clue what it is do know.


I wish it had 360 camera, or tilting mirrors, ...

Wish it had turn dial shifter.

Wish the rearview mirror could be saved in seat position also.

Wish that from factory they let me shift into 1st when at 3k of 2nd.

Wish all parts where built to the fullest ability Even at the time we couldn't get enough fuel to break it. Although maybe the ptu is built the best they can right now. But the transmission probably could be built a little stronger.

For being a basically full size luxury sports car they got a lot right made it big and stylish they could of made more room but then probably look to close to the fusion. In Which I guess had a better designs team. But glad the sho got more performance orientated stuff.


Almost wish Ford could make a sho more of a gtr but in the 50k range not the 60 with OEM datalogging and flex fuel sensor .

Over all I feel the car is great reason I chose the sho over a a4, Chevy ss, or Challenger. Although there all very tempting.

I think next year sho if it's still around will get 360 camera since new f150 have it and I asked Ford to add reverse tilting mirrors since it should be a easy program thing since already with saved seat position the mirrors change also.
they said it's something not possible at this moment.
I was surprised to get a response specially since they tried mailing me twice to then finally email me.

I love(d) having access to my tire pressures in my Torque setup, but for some reason when I bought my new updated bluetooth adapter I lost my tire pressure monitoring in the app.  Anyone else experienced this??  Haven't tried reloading PID's tho, so might give that a shot before writing it off.

Hmmmm.  If TPMS info is on MSCAN, that might be the issue?

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!
