Hello everyone. I am currently researching to buy and upgrade a Taurus SHO.

Unfortunately, last year my wife talked me into buying her a NA 2014 Flex. We test drove a Ecoboost but she didn't like the color...

So, now I'm looking to replace my 270k mile '97 Taurus and performance, rather than color, is my top criteria. I recently test drove a 2015 SHO, and now I'm hooked. I'll want it to be a daily driver, but still very interested performance upgrades including methanol injection.  Also, interested in DIY upgrades but need technical help when the time comes.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Welcome, Tyler, and good luck with the quest for the 2015 SHO!  Aside from general reading througout the forum, we also have a section of HOW-TOs that can prove extremely useful :)

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 Tyler!

I was car shopping not long ago.  I also test drove an SHO and fell in love.  If you are shopping used, I suggest widening your search to include the MKS, Flex, and Explorer EB vehicles.  All have their advantages and disadvantages.  The SHO with PP is the probably the best performer of the bunch with the others all being fairly similar.

My choice boiled down to what I found in the best condition and for the best price since I was shopping used.  Ended up with an MKS Premium.
Current - 2019 F150 Platinum FX4 3.5 EB
Formerly -2013 MKS Ecoboost Premium
PPE Catted DP's, 170 Reische TS, K&N Drop In, AJP Tune only at track - 12.87@106
