Just wish the guy had been a little less restrained :P  Great publicity for the SHO and for Ford!  Congrats, SHO-TYM!!!

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!

I was grinning from ear to ear the entire article.

Extremely well written and deservedly complimentary, from the opening word, to the final keystroke culminating in.....

"It's just a Taurus".

Ha! This made my entire weekend.

Outstanding!

I couldn't hardly get past the first paragraph because I was SO EXCITED.... haha.... The guy that did the article is also the photographer.... amazing talent.  My grin will be plastered to my face for a long time to come... He is sending me some high res photos with the Road & Track logo on a few of them.  I will post them on here when I get them.

I honestly didn't have much say in that.... but atleast he added the wheel power in the article.  He said he did that because the manufacturer uses crank HP to rate cars, and that is what that magazine normally deals in.
