i got a chance to talk to a ford rep, not that he would know anything, too young & a field rep at our local Ford Fest weekend in STL. was showing my sho, which has been visually modded in every way i can come up with. he was smozzing with us coming by each guys car. when he came to my sho, said well your treatment is not exactly what the ford engineers where thinking about, they wanted it to be a sleeper & yours screams "SHO". my response was simple maybe if ford would have they've have sold more than the 10-12k they have. it's a great car & ford has after 1st year basically ignored it & now word on the street is you're going to castrate it with a 2.7. just shook his head & left. our fordfest was reduced to 2 days this year from 3, i was lone sho, last year ford brought a sho with the other cars, this year no sho. sad!!!

you know,... if they discontinue the SHO in 2016, i would gladly hang on to my current SHO. I would modd the hell out of it to make it competitive with the current GM/Chrysler builds... just to let people know that at one point, Ford did make a decent performance sedan.

That's my plan too, all cars have their quirks. So does my SHO. But it never gets old when someone asks me about it. I'm kinda glad Ford didn't sell that many, makes it unique. With a few simple mods it's hard to beat. We will see but the more I think about it the more I believe that the SHO is dead.

Like ShoBoat mentioned there are not to many SHO around,just speculation i think they sold and made more police package versions than SHO"s and if they discontinue them our cars will only go up in value,LOl

around stl, you see a good amount of taurus police cars in fact we have one that is a resident neighbor PM. he's is the 3.7 flexfuel. we talk occasional as he sees me out detailing my sho & would like to buy it. in our talks said there are view few eco's in st louis county. he said even the explorers are mostly flex's. problem with present taurus is back seat to small. much more room in the explorer. they use more explorers in high crime areas & more taurus in neighborhood residents. as he laughingly says got to keep the bad guys in cuffs comfortable & just doesn't happen in the taurus. if ford makes it smaller will be even a worst fit. stopped by a couple weeks ago when saw my challenger r/t & asked if selling sho he gets first dibbs. not sure what neighbors think since he's stopped by a few times, but no one has asked.

Just keep walking the straight and narrow and all will be well, mi amigo

So how much does the first hellcat ever made go for at auction?

150,000

I say at least $200k. Keep in mind proceeds go to charity.

First one ever...could see it get way up there I bet...charitable write off I did not calculate into the 150 either...hmmm

Hell cat drive.
