Picked up my 2014 Ingot Silver SHO at the end of July and I have been extremely happy with it. Moved from a 2001 Mustang GT and could not be happier. Still discovering all the features. Unfortunately, i have been reading posts by bpd1151 :bow: and the mod bug has bit me. I did that with my Mustang and trying really hard to resist the urge... though it looks like I am losing this battle 8)

Welcome! I'm pretty happy with just a tune.  You could at least do that! ;D

Umm..... would saying "sorry" help out in any way?

Hahaha..... glad to hear you are suffering from "moditis" like the rest of us.

The only cure is to cave into those desires.

Welcome & congrats!  Definitely tune at least, that will not only increase performance, but likely take care of any transmission "sluggishness" that you may notice over time!

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!

What is worse is that he gets his car on Ford's FB page... ;D

Yeah, that was pretty exciting for sure. Very thankful for the Executive's at FMC who were responsible for having allowed my SHO to grace it's pages.  :bow:

Now hopefully by doing so, it will yield yet even more interest to not only the SHO platform, but also to the entire ECOBOOST platform as well.

Someone was not paying attention and put a double crease in the passenger side fender just above the wheel well. It's going into the repair shop on Monday. I just made the first payment today! That is just wrong on so many levels - no note. I am fuming and words are escaping me. >:(

WOW! Thats sucks! I would demand they order you a factory painted fender, the reason I say this is. Cause apparently it is a option, we do them at the mustang plant every now and then.
