Looks like it has aftermarket lights, so I'd see what else might of been done to it. Might have a tune still on it too.

 

[johnnyrauder]

nice catch on the lights,not sure what it is you see. how would i find out about a tune?

That's the hard part...not really sure on that one. I would think they'd return it to stock before selling it but you never know.

The PP has slightly lower final drive gearing (better launches?), better cooling, etc. Some people don't want it because it gets a slightly lower 0-60 time than the "normal" SHO.

i made a deal that will include a powertrian warranty in case it wasnt tuned right.

you would think you would get better 0-60 times with the larger. gear. dont really matter to me. also is i dont like the fact of no spare tire.

but not a deal braker

[krewat]

The slightly slower 0-60 is because the gearing change makes the 2-3 shift happen right before 60MPH

I like it because it pulls like a mother from a stop-light especially when I preload the turbos.

It's basically the cop-car drivetrain. OIl cooler, PTU is coolant "cooled" (or heated, depending on your point of view), etc. Supposedly uprated springs/shocks.

Problem is, if it WAS ever tuned and it was picked up by any dealership, the car is already flagged and you will NOT be getting any warranty work approved. If i were you, I'd have them run the VIN through OASIS.

 

[Christian]

And you'd be wise to do that BEFORE you fork over the coin for the warranty.

 

[johnnyrauder]

I'd have them run the VIN through OASIS. what is oasis and is that something i can do myself?

 

[SHOdded]

OASIS is Ford/dealer-only software. You would normally be able to ask the selling dealer for one if a serious buyer.

good info. ty i will most definitely do that.it will tell me only it was flaged but not if it was tuned correct?

I was able to get the dealer to CPO mine to as part of the deal to add warranty. I did end up buying an ESP plan as well.

 

[SHOdded]

IDK if Ford will note the "tuned" aspect in OASIS. I have not found it to be 100% especially on items covered by Ford warranty.

Really? I thought the non-PP SHO was only faster tuned. In stock form I thought the PP SHO was slightly quicker.

I would think they would be obligated to tell you the warranty in invalidated at purchase time. Otherwise the CPO warranty should be honored.

Slightly slower and I mean slight. I believe because of the shift that occurs right before 60
