Why would you listen to a Ford press release indicating that the new SHO is "God's Gift to Humans!" Ford could have created a car worthy of the SHO nameplate, but instead, they decided to "suck" eveyone into believing that this is the next "great coming!" They (Ford) stuck this car with a non-exclusive engine, a standard auto trans (with paddle shifters that do nothing like the Chrysler "slap shift",) and no pizzass to separate it from the remainder of the current "chaft" offered as new by Detroit.
Unless the current SHO drivers tell Ford "to stick it where the sun doesn' t shine," they will continue to propagate this as what current SHO owners want. This is not I want. I want a car with a unique engine, a manual trans or an auto that subsequences to the what the driver wants, and a suspension/interior package that supports what this car should be.
You may brand me as "anti-Ford" for this, but I feel I'm pro-SHO!
