New SHO owner in Kentucky

[chessboxer]

Hello!  My name is Mike and I am from Lexington, KY.  I picked up a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO about 3 weeks ago after I got home from being overseas for a while. 

Pics!

I had a Prius before this and boy, do I not miss that thing at all.

I installed the AirRaid Intake this week and just got my tunes for the MyCal last night from Livernois, going to test out the Stage 4+ tune as soon as I am off of work today.

I also have the H&R springs for it and will have them installed within the month.

Love this car, hope to become a regular member around here.

This is my other car btw, its not an ECOBoost car, but it is a Ford.

Welcome! Nice looking SHO and Mach!

Nice, love the color of the SHO.
Welcome!

Bordeaux Red, is it?  Very nice, and of course the Blue on the Stang, outstanding.  Welcome!

 

[Timeless]

Prius...ugh!

Welcome to a much better car!

:hi:Glad that you've joined us.  Great color you've got there, and I'm sure you're probably not aware that the Cinnamon Metallic is the rarest color for the 2010 SHO, I believe there were only something like 200 of them producted.  I will look up the exact number for you but looks like you got a sharp one!  Also do like the Mach...I've sorta, kinda got my eye on a '69 Mach 1 right now.

Welcome to the group.

I hope you enjoy the time here; lots of great stuff and people.

OK, I went and looked up the numbers.  The good news is that for 2010 only 199 SHO's in Cinnamon Metallic were produced.  The bad news is, that the charcoal leather/umber is not the rarest produced...Ford made 105 with this interior.  Only 94 were produced with the all charcoal interior.  Still a great rare find on your part.  Congrats!

Welcome!  I love that color combination.  Looks great!

Nice ride, you should have made them replaced the rear tail lights with the peeling chrome. A very well known issue for model years 2010/2012. If you received any kind of warranty perhaps you can still get them replaced. Some people just use black plasti-dip to remedy.

Welcome! Nice car Mike.  BTW, I am originally from Ft. Thomas, KY.  What part of Kentucky are you from?

 

[thewrubelator]

Welcome brotha!  :beer:

 

[EcoBrick Bob]

Welcome!

First new gen. SHO I ever saw was at a FL Dealer and was identical to yours.

 

[chessboxer]

Thanks everyone, I had no idea that the color combination was this rare.

To answer a couple of questions I was in the Army but am resigning my commission now (Made it to Captain) and focusing on a civilian career after 9 years.  Additionally, I am from a small place called Waynesburg, KY which is in Lincoln County Kentucky, but am in Lexington now.  I lived in DC for 3 years before I deployed this last time.

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome.  I got the Stage4+ tune going and I absolutely love it.  I had my kids this weekend and didn't get a chance to find a private course to try it out on fully, but just accelerating feels awesome now.

Welcome

Welcome to the forums and thank you for your service. I'm just up the road in Louisville and very much into Mustangs, nice Mach you have there.

So,  I made this post a few years ago and the car got a Livernois MyCal and Air Raid intake.

The modding bug finally caught up to me (extended warranty is over!) and car is getting Megan Racing Coilovers and the EBC Stage 5 Superstreet Brake kit installed today.  If it stops raining I will be adding a 3 bar map, changing my plugs, and adding a 160 tstat and installing the Stage 4+ tune.

I got a set of 20" Niche Targa's on 255/45/20 BFG Sport Comp 2s for it as well.  Intend to be more active and take some pics and keep modding.

Also, car has run on the Stage 3 tune for 3 years now and around 35k miles and been great.  I love it as much today as I did when I posted this 3 years ago!
