So anyway....this is my sad excuse for an intro...
We (i say we cuz its actually the wifes car, but i do the work and modding.....she finances the mods. Good deal right??) Soooo 2013 green sho, ive heard the color is kinda rare, only 400 or so made and only this year. Its lowered on h&rs which im still on the fence about since im not fond of the ride quality. Tuned by livernois with their package deal with 3bar, tstat, plugs and cai. Plans are replacing brakes here very soon since these are shitting the bed with moderate to hard braking specifically at highway speeds. Maybe exhaust somewhere in the future if we ever find something that actually sounds good and not just loud. We live in southeast michigan so if you ever see the "hulksho" rollin around, plz say hi!

Welcome to the community, Two!  Like Z said, you indeed have a rare gem green SHO.  As you may know, green was one of the most popular colors for the Gen 2 SHO years ago :)

Are the roads not good out where you are?  I have heard the roads around Detroit can be pretty rough, and the entrances/exits to parking garages etc too steep for lowered suspensions.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!

Welcome aboard once again!lol. How many miles on that Green Gem?
I wonder if your brakes or speed sensors have something to do with your T/C !
Best of luck and thanks for joining.  Z

Yeah the roads here can be pretty terrible, some areas more than others. We havent come across any regular circumstances that we havent been able to maneuver.
Im wondering if the brakes have something to do with it as well, but like i said, no warning lights of any kind to alert us of a problem. If so i think this would be a more common problem. It currently has 87k on it, which is probably alot, but we drive it daily year round.

Green Gem is such a premium color... it is not very often that you see that color on SHO. Beautiful car!

Yeah we dont see it very often and get complimented on it all the time. It took a little bit for it to grow on us at first, but im glad we got it. Didnt realize it was such a rare color though....
