Hello all.....finally made the leap to get another fast vehicle.  After getting married and having 3 kids some toys got pushed to the waiting list.  My wife has the 2013 Explorer Sport and now I got the 2014 SHO, this is the only way to enjoy both worlds driving the kids and heading to the nearest track to enjoy some fun.
Been reading thru the forum and see a lot of great support and awesome rides...  I'll take any recommendations as to what the best mods are to start with.  My goal at the end of the day(might take a couple of years) is to see these SHO's running 10's and still picking up the kids...

Does anyone know where there are good Carfee spots in NJ(central)?  I usually run out to Staten Island to catch up with friends on Tuesday nights.

Later.....

Welcome! :hi:

10's huh?

Doubtful. Even with MAJOR upgrades, including internals and drivetrain. But hey, I'm all in for the show!

It's good to have goals/aspirations. :ok:

your garage mirrors mine.
wouldn't be surprised, many model homes all around Jersey looking the same.

Hey guys are running 11.9 now so they have some turbo upgrades and I see a Flex with 600whp.  Got a gt500 in the family also with 700+ to the wheels so its always fun to something to reach towards.
