    US131 Motorsports park

    Went again Fri to the T-T and ran 13.07 and 13.08. Getting close to the 12 sec bracket but not there yet. Probably the last runs for a while.

    US131 Motorsports park

    I ran 13.19 and 13.15 both at 105. Tried the 93 tune but backed out as car was "laying down" in the middle of third gear so I chose to not take a chance. 91 tune pulled well all the way. Not a bad day for a car that weighs 4560 with me aboard on Martin`s scales. Won`t take much to make a 12 sec...

    US131 Motorsports park

    Looks like a beautiful day for Sat the 19th so I guess I`ll head for Martin Mi. for a little test and tune. Did 13.42 stock last year in 40 degree air. 93 tune was laying down in 3rd and 4th. I`ll try a 91 tune and see if the 93 was a little too much.

    Very disappointed at the track.

    Mine did 13.42 @ 104+ stock but the best stage 4 tuned run was only 13.25 and each run got worse after that. Felt like it "sagged" after 3K in 3rd and 4th.(pulling timing?) Got as bad as 13.8 before I gave up on the tune for the winter. I will try again this spring but was disappointed as are...

    New SHO owner, couple ?'s

    I do notice a little torque steer on mine during the initial hit which quickly disappears. A slight right pull which makes me have to turn the steering wheel for an instant.

    Turn signal hard to engage

    After driving the SHO I get into the wife`s 2014 Mazda 6 and I try to break the turn signal stalk off when I signal.:angelnot:

    Turn signal hard to engage

    What you say is true. The signal does require more force than others I have had but after a month of driving it you won`t even notice. Actually, if they designed the signal to operate that way I do wish they had increased the pressure needed to actuate the bright flash, but they didn`t.

    Gilmore Car Museum Wed. cruise-in.

    Waxed and drove the Ruby Red to the Gilmore cruise-in. Being primarily a muscle car crowd I was again surprised how many people stopped by to chat about the `13. There were over 300 cars present from my SHO to model A`s and everything in between. A good time for sure.

    Gilmore Car Museum Wed. cruise-in.

    Yes, cars start to arrive about 5:00 pm and some stay until 8:00pm or later. Dogs, burgers, soda`s and ice cream available for purchase. No fee for the cruise-in. I am usually there if the weather is half-way decent with the red SHO. Come and be seen! Thunderstorms around tomorrow so I`ll go...

    New SHO at US131 dragway today.

    Soooo, I took the SHO back to US131. I only had a little above 1/4 tank and stopped to get 4 more gal. (remember that) Got to strip and ran 1st pass at 13.24 @ 105.6 but felt a little like timming was being pulled. Felt smooth losses in power especially after 1/8th mark. Just got worse as...

    Performance Package

    Reading the 2013 Ford Taurus manual there is nothing in the book which specifies this is PP only, only SHO. Non-SHO use the information systen to access the AdvanceTrac controls.
