Greetings! I have a bit of history with the SHO. My first new car was a 1993 SHO, dark blue with the black interior and a 5-speed. I put a Hypertech chip in it and a K&N filter, ran a best of 14.9 in the quarter. I freaking loved that car, it was comfortable, fast, and different from all the cookie-cutter 5.0 Fox body Mustangs that were everywhere. Unfortunately, it was a big-time lemon with endless electrical issues. I finally got fed up with it and traded it on a Ranger in late 1994.
In the 22 years since, I've had a succession of Mustangs, BMWs, an RX-7, Porsche 944, Miata, various pickups, you name it. But yesterday I came back to where it all started:
It's a 2014 Tuxedo Black with PP, multi-contour seats, and nav. No moonroof. Picked it up at a dealership in Grand Rapids, MI and drove it home to Brighton through a bunch of snow squalls, and it did great. My most recent ride was a 2011 Mustang GT with Steeda springs and aftermarket exhaust, and while it was an absolute hoot to drive, I'm not a young man anymore, and the SHO's combination of space, comfort, and performance is much more my style these days.
Plans for now are just to drive it, add a few things like a Proclip phone mount and Husky floor liners. Down the road I may do a light tint on the windows, and since I don't live far from Livernois, I may well be giving them a call, too. I'm also going to change all the fluids to good quality synthetics as soon as I can dig my way back to my garage in all the snow we have. Also considering splash guards and maybe an oil catch can.
This is not my first Ecoboost 3.5 vehicle, by the way. I previously had a 2011 F-150 and my wife is currently driving our 2015 Expedition EL. You can say that I'm a fan of this engine.
