2012 SHO PP in Minnesota

[Dirtball9044]

Greetings! Just upgraded to a 2012 SHO PP w/58k and love it! Couldn't stand the 2015 Nissan Rogue Select AWD I was driving (CVT's are THE WORST) so I traded it in. Years ago I had a 1995 SHO MTX (that I sold way too soon to a buddy who needed a car) and always wanted another SHO, especially once they were re-introduced. I also have a nice 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 5spd to mess with as well, so that gets my manual transmission fix addressed. Anyways, I hope to learn more about this incredible car and to not let the tuning bug bite me....again. Hope the AWD can handle serious snow....

Welcome to SHOforum, Dirtball, especially glad to see another former Gen 2 SHOwner here! Your Gen 4 SHO looks so CLEAN The AWD does great in snow, but snow tires will always be > AWD.

I think the Murano is far better liked than the Rogue ...

Thanks SHOdded, I appreciate it. It could still use a professional detail, but overall looks very good. Previous owner had it undercoated, 3M door guards and Weather Tech inside, so they appeared to take care of how it looked. Interior looks like new. What really sold me is the color, looks just like my '95. It is a little bit faster...but just a little...

by almost 2 seconds in the 1/4 ... LOL! But nothing can replace the Gen 1/2 SHOs IMHO. The 95 color was what a Moonlight Blue ...?

Indigo blue I think? I don't even know what my 2012 SHO color is called hah! I loved my 95 MTX, nothing like a manual in a big old sedan...terrible thing is I sold it to a friend and had to watch him drive it for years with only needing a clutch. Bad move on my part, but got the 87 Turbo Coupe in WAY better shape to make up for it.

Dark blue pearl metallic was the color for 2012

Got any pics of your 95 or your 87 to share?

Whoops....didn't mean to post such a large pic....anyways there is the TBird. I will have to dig for a '95 SHO pic at home.
