Hello!  My name is Mike and I am from Lexington, KY.  I picked up a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO about 3 weeks ago after I got home from being overseas for a while. 

Pics!






I had a Prius before this and boy, do I not miss that thing at all.

I installed the AirRaid Intake this week and just got my tunes for the MyCal last night from Livernois, going to test out the Stage 4+ tune as soon as I am off of work today.

I also have the H&R springs for it and will have them installed within the month.

Love this car, hope to become a regular member around here.

This is my other car btw, its not an ECOBoost car, but it is a Ford.

Bordeaux Red, is it?  Very nice, and of course the Blue on the Stang, outstanding.  Welcome!

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!

 :hi:Glad that you've joined us.  Great color you've got there, and I'm sure you're probably not aware that the Cinnamon Metallic is the rarest color for the 2010 SHO, I believe there were only something like 200 of them producted.  I will look up the exact number for you but looks like you got a sharp one!  Also do like the Mach...I've sorta, kinda got my eye on a '69 Mach 1 right now.

OK, I went and looked up the numbers.  The good news is that for 2010 only 199 SHO's in Cinnamon Metallic were produced.  The bad news is, that the charcoal leather/umber is not the rarest produced...Ford made 105 with this interior.  Only 94 were produced with the all charcoal interior.  Still a great rare find on your part.  Congrats!

Nice ride, you should have made them replaced the rear tail lights with the peeling chrome. A very well known issue for model years 2010/2012. If you received any kind of warranty perhaps you can still get them replaced. Some people just use black plasti-dip to remedy.
