Picked up my new car yesterday

[99SVT]

Ordered this thing back in June, and picked it up yesterday.... 2013 Taurus SHO. This car runs good... the Motor Trend specs on it have it faster than my '99 Lightning was when it was stock. I am going to enjoy this thing... a heck of a lot more fun than the vehicle it replaced... a '06 Scion xA

 

[DustynF]

Looks good. I had a 94SHO and a 98 Contour SVT. Loved both of the cars. The new SHO is just a little to big for me. I think I will wait for them to do something with the new Fusion. I know....... I will probably be waiting for a long time.

 

[Jay_mc1]

Your car looks great! The new ones look amazing compared to the older ones. I didnt even know that ford brought the SHO back. I drove an older one in college one time and was very supprised at how quick it was. Congrats on the new car!

 

[Krash Kadillak]

Ford was trying to attract new customers for the SHO in '93 when they brought out the automatic-equipped version. Got an offer from them for free use of one for a weekend. I took them up on it. It was a blast to drive Handled really good, too. This new larger one, as others have said, is a bit big for me.

That's a nice car, 99SVT. I like the new SHOs and think they look good.

BUT, you realize those wheels look like daisies, right?

 

[ForceFed70]

Taurus SHO's are great! Can't say I like the wheels tho.

 

[mmack66]

Yeah, those wheels are not good.

 

[Kevin54]

Are those stock wheels? If they are, get some aftermarkets. If they aren't....I didn't say anything.

 

[RCman]

Nice car. I like what they did to re-style the front of them.

Are those stock wheels? If they are, get some aftermarkets. If they aren't....I didn't say anything.

I think they are stock wheels. Either that or the Ford dealer I drove past today bought three sets of them to put on cars.

 

[White04mach]

Sick! I must be the only one that is ok with the wheels....

Not the only one.
I think they look great, would be interested in a more in depth review once you've put a few miles on her.

 

[anthony73]

Nice car, a buddy has one it hauls ***,much better than a Scion. Good choice.

 

[kert]

Nice! Did you get the Adaptive Cruise? That's about the only feature that would get me to buy an automatic in a car.

 

[sublimate]

I like the wheels as well.
Too many cars look the same - it's nice to have some variety.

Congrads
That's SHO cool

[Jarhead0408]

Nice car man, Congrtas!
I'm not going to tell you I don't like those wheels like everyone else did, I'm not.

 

[KermitFrog]

I like it.........and the wheels look like Daisy's.

 

[green.bubbly]

Sorry, I could not resist. Nice car though. How much HP?

 

[PT Doc]

Looks good. Have you thought bout lowering it. It would look sharp.

 

[bdkruger1]

Sorry, I could not resist. Nice car though. How much HP?

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

SHARP looking car, lose the daisy petal wheels OK?

Ecoboost? There is a guy running 12 second street driven flex with an eco boost. I would bet there is some untapped potential, there

 

[ddawg16]

Are those stock wheels? If they are, get some aftermarkets. If they aren't....I didn't say anything.

The proper phrase is "I respectfully assert my 5th Amendment rights".

Sorry....but those wheels are **** ugly.....

But...good looking car....

Is it the AWD version? Some police departments are looking at going to those......without those wheels of course.

 

[NUTTSGT]

I think the wheels are probably a generational gap thing.


Can you bring it over so I can drive it ?

 

[SCAN MG]

Very nice car, congrats.

 

[CodeRedZ]

Congrats, though as some of said, not a fan of the wheels

and boo on no engine pics lol

 

[Benw455]

Sweet ride! I even like the wheels.

 

[aka Larry]

Nice car, but yes, those are ugly-as-f*ck wheels. Is the SHO available with a manual? If not, sorry I couldn't own one myself.

Any engine pics?

 

[oilslick]

I like it, bet that fucker really scoots, I would settle for one turbo and you have two!

 

[graffix000]

Nice pickup. The cars rated really well considering. The wheels though...

 

[jonb347]

365/365 I believe. The wheels look better in person and at more and an angle. You should look into tuning by James. 50 Rwhp and 75 ft lbs

 

[99SVT]

Are those stock wheels? If they are, get some aftermarkets. If they aren't....I didn't say anything.

They are the upgrade wheel for the car. It comes with 19" wheels, theses are 20"

 

[99SVT]

Sorry, I could not resist. Nice car though. How much HP?

Buddy of mine did the same. The wheels look a little different in person, that is not a good picture of them... does not do them justice.

It has 365hp, 350 torque.

 

[e-tek]

So, do you call it a "SHOW" or a S-H-O???

 

[99SVT]

Congrats, though as some of said, not a fan of the wheels

Looking under the hood of modern vehicles does nothing for me. Just a bunch of plastic and hoses. The underhood of my Lightning looks good, with the Whipple sitting there, or the stroker motor in my '87 Mustang GT.

I will take some more pictures of everything, come the weekend.

 

[Big-Foot]

Love the look of the car, but like some of the others - ick-schnay on the wheels... The cars profile demands more rubber showing... A set of BBS - RX wheels in gold would look stunning!

Congratz!

 

[99SVT]

Nice car, but yes, those are ugly-as-f*ck wheels. Is the SHO available with a manual? If not, sorry I couldn't own one myself.

Not a typical standard, but you can shift it into "S", and use the paddle shifters

 

[99SVT]

So, do you call it a "SHOW" or a S-H-O???

It is pronounced "SHOW" now, the older ones were S H O, Super High Output

 

[e-tek]

Great power rate! Does it have any of the electronic avoidance bits?

Livernois stage 5, if you really want it to scoot.
