I have been looking for a 2nd car for a few months now and started looking at SHO's last week. I found a car I could not pass up in Maryland. It's a '10, Cinnamon red, black inserts, 402A, Nav, 20" wheels, adaptive cruise, multi-countour seats...it had 524 miles on it. It is literally brand new.
I had been looking at a few other cars, but told talked to the dealer on the phone yesterday, settled on a price and told him I would be down today to get it.
Just got back about an hour ago. I love the car, very comfortable, roomy, runs well.

I'll be out of town until early next week and will get some better pics up then. This is from a stop along the way in White Marsh.
Only plan is an SCT tuner with a Livernois tune. No desire to do a CAI or catback, I've got a few other cars that are far faster than this one will ever be, and I like it quiet and comfortable.

Looks very nice. Congrats. Add some tints and a drop to your list!

Best of luck with it.

This is a car for my house in Jersey, but I'll license it using my home in Florida, so it'll get nicely tinted.
Not really looking to lower it. I'm happy with the 4x4 look...lol.

Nice choice, you're lucky to find that color, it is the rarest of the SHO's produced in 2010. Hope you love the car.

I feel the same way. Not a fan of lowered cars. I wish I could sit in one with the contour seats to see what they feel like.

Look great! I've never seen that color either. I think it will look excellent once you get it tinted.... but I'm biased when it comes to tint. I like it so dark it looks like black paint :D

I really like the color. It's darker than my Barolo Red E55, and at night looks even darker. Next week, I'll be cleaning the daylights out of it. There is still adhesive on the wheels and in various spots on the body from the shipping plastic that was never property removed.

Rick...just placed an order for a SCT handheld and tunes.

Nice ride. It was the rarest color produced - only 199 of 7114 cars made. When you start adding the options, models with the adaptive cruise were only 97 of the 199 and 97 of the 3293 cars produced with this option. Rare indeed for the model! Definitely need tinted and a tune, nothing wrong with a CAI either.

Love the colour too. We can't get that one up here in Canada.
Enjoy.

Thank you for your order! I didn't even see the part where you mentioned the tune in your original post until now. It will ship today. :thankyou:

Very cool.
Also of interest, this was an "export" car, and there are a few minor items that are somewhat different from most SHO's. It has a key start where the push button is located, which is the only one I've seen like that. It also has labels and sheets printed in what appears to be Arabic (there are a few under the hood and the spare tire instruction sheet...I haven't look more closely, but noticed it yesterday). Also, on the Ford equipment list it states that it has a "Metric speedometer" and "Export radio frequency".

Nice...Just like mine! The dealer tinted my windows and it looks great.
I'll get some 'good' pictures posted once all this snow/ice melts and I can clean it up.

Interesting fact that Retnavy posted...only 199 of ours exist. Maybe that will slow our depreciation...haha.
