    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.

    76 degrees and humid. Even then I felt some loss. I know more is there. I`ll eliminate 1 thing at a time untill I know what it was.

    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.

    Any goals for the 2013 year?

    Only to find out what this 2013 will do with only a tune and what difference a tune makes in various conditions. And NEp8ntballer THANK YOU!!

    Performance Package

    1 button push with brakes on = esc on,tcs off. 2 rapid button pushes with brakes applied = esc and tsc on but in sport mode. Button pushed for more than 5 seconds with brakes applied and no throttle = esc off, tcs off. Button depressed after any of above enables esc and tcs. Sport mode...

    Tuner

    I had my `11 stang v6 vert tuned and the difference was very noticable. Shifts were much firmer and throttle response was much better. 1/4 mile times were about .3 sec better with almost 2 mph improvement. The difference in the SHO tune is MUCH more. While the ease of driving in traffic is...

    Tuner

    Now for first impressions. Best term is WOW. I went from a car which would squeek a tire on launch to one which has some trouble finding traction on launch and on the 1-2 shift. It will be interesting to see what it will do at US131 motorsports park. It ran 13.42 stock there in 41 degree air...

    Tuner

    Tunes have arrived and are in tuner now. I am in process of mowing lawn. When I finish I`ll install and see what I have. I do know I really do like this SHO even stock. 13.42 @ 103 is nothing to look down on for a stock car that was 4335 lbs on Martin scales without my 195.

    Tuner

    Not always. When I first got the Mustang tuned I received the tuner and then submitted my info by email. The first time there was about 36 hours before I got the tunes. After I was established I then got the tunes almost immediately. That was thru Bama and AM. Besides, I would really have...
