Just wanted to say hello.  Been lurking since I bought my 2014 SHO in October of 2013.  Installed my new MDesign Cold Air Kit today.  Haven't played with the car much yet as this is my daily driver and I drive around the state a bunch (it now has 47K miles on it and had 43 (notice no K) when I bought it) Love the car.  I have friends with some very expensive sports sedans that cannot believe what my car can do and the technology level.  Best part is I paid half what they paid for theirs.

See you around,

Agreed, My Friend's F-Sport LS has a level of refinement that I can only wish for.  But then again his $90K vs my $38K might help me not care.  I drive a ton (about 4-5k per month) and I can say that my SHO is fantastic.  It handles any weather just fine, is comfortable, makes people ask if it really is a Ford and can keep up with just about anybody that I encounter on the freeways. 

I'm a fan.

Welcome to the community dfwSHO, glad to see ya come out of the shadows :D  Already begun the modding, I see.  Is this your daily driver, intend to take it to the drags or road course with it?  Fullon pics of the beast are always welcome!

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!

Welcome!  :hi:

You know... I drove a lot of cars when I decided on the SHO. I have found the electronics and comfort superior to cars costing 2-3 times as much also. Like you it's a DD. That's why I bought her... I can blow it up modding (not that I want to), buy another one, start over, and still be $$$'s ahead... Good choice! Enjoy our foibles and experiments.  Look forward to yours.

Welcome!

I bought my SHO with 5K miles on it at Sewell Cadillac.  Guy traded it in on a new ATS, what the hell! lol

Get a tune, you'll be spanking just about anything. 

For sub $50K, not many sport sedans out there with cooled seats, heated wheel, massage seats, rain sensing wipers, collision control, adative cc, auto parking, AWD, remote start, and can do mid/high 12's with a $400 tune.  Oh and have a 4 body trunk.  Hell, most of the foreign cars can't even put the back seats down.

Only thing missing on this car is power folding mirrors, LED lights throughout, auto up/down windows for the rear, and front parking sensors/camera.  Then it would be perfect.  If Ford made it a 12.8/107mph  car stock, it would be a lot more popular and have more street cred.  Oh well, I love how rare they are.

Daily driver around the state (4-5K per month).  Would love to do some road course work but that will be a bit down the pipe (son #2 on the way.)  For now planning on lowering it, Corsa exhaust (when I can sneak that by the wife), and a tune.

Pic's to follow (needs some TLC and a new windshield (man those are expensive!) then I'll post some up.

Next time I'm in Houston I'll PM you would love to check out your car. You have most of the mods I want. Maybe we could grab lunch or happy hour. Perk of being on a sales team is I can expense those things easily.
