new best in the SHO

[38SHO]

badass thanks for sharing, nice purchase with the black performance pack SHO......


little puzzled by the lower trap speeds, I guess its explainable I just hoped they would be higher with that HP level stock.......

awesome on the E.T. though and I loved how it looked when you launched and throughout 1st gear

Do you have your window sticker to see the 3:16 ratio? They have been quoteing 13.7-9 in the internet on non 12s cars.

That 60' is fantastic! Mine finally Showed up today, put it up against a GT mustang with gears and tuning and beat him buy a nose on a local road.

Also whats the last 6 of your vin? because Ryan and I are Starting Ecosho.com as a website with all the Documentation we can get, It would be nice to see where the 12s came in.. what we do know so far is that all cars up to 108xxx do not have 12s, mine is 110884 so its somewhere between 108xxx and 110884, Mine was special ordered on 2/12 and just came in.

NESHO will also be offering in the near future.
Tuning in a week or so
Up pipes
Xpipes/ muffler delete
Brake kits
ss lines
Springs
CAI
and some other little tools to make your ECOSHO much more enjoyable.

Cool thanks for the info! Your weight calcs might be wrong too, I got mine today and would not let the dealer touch it. they called I went over and took it to my house all wrapped up.

I took the certificate of orgin from the dealer (boy are they sweating that one) and on it it states the "shipping weight" of the car is get this..


Sit Down

are you sitting?

4424lbs! im sure our cars are pretty much the same so, with me ((200lbs) after healthy shit first thing in the am before the sun comes up))

4624lbs plus gas lets assume it has a 20gal tank (here we go again) Old SHO thing for newbies.... 5gals x 7lbs per gallon 35lbs bringing the SHOWHALE to

4679lbs.

Ill scale the car while at the drag strip on Wednesday, for what I hope is a much lower number! If the scales are closed Ill scale it at my shop on thursday day with Nascar certified corner scales..

 

[thebigjimsho]

I want to see this at NED on Wednesday...

 

[beefcake]

well, 2 different track scales had me at 4570 at 1/4 tank fuel with me (285) in the car

can't be a coincedence?

 

[Rubix]

Awesome info you're sharing beefcake, much appreciated. It's also awesome, Kirk, that your SHO came in, you need to post some pics man!

Beefcake, as for icing the intake that plastic intake cover snaps right off, literally. I watched the Ford Engineer at the convention pop it off and on again, no bolts or screws. **** removing that would have been the first thing I did to the car. All your posts have got me pretty excited about the new SHO, keep it up man!

 

[SHODWN]

Yeah I know I have to get some pics up, the last year has been crazy and Ive been working alot more to make the same money so I have had zero time.

James, get your but up to the track then! there is a longhorn in Plastow NH, after that has great steaks!

Im lucky enough to have pics of my car at the factory, on the line, in the Phos dip, even in the storage bay that look like the enterprise shuttle bay! Its real nice to have freinds in great places. Ill get them up this week though, and the car has a story already from the factory..

No way am I gonna miss this! I've been wanting to go the last few weeks anyway. I will see you there Kirk!

Edit- You gonna be there James?

 

[drivinhard]

kirk pull a wheel/tire off when you have it on the lift and weigh it

also measure the outside rotor to stock wheel spoke clearance.

did we every determine how wide the wheels actually are? it should be stamped on the back of the wheel spokes...

Yeah. Maybe I'll run the Town Car...

 

[SHODWN]

Yep Ill get the wheels off this week and get the info.. I know its the same bolt pattern as your vette and I know where you live now So I know where I can get some light weight replacements!!

James, run the town car! that would be just fantastic! can I ride in the back?

Archer says its might rain, so the rain date will be friday night.. I will be there when the doors open..

the stock wheels are 20x8, the bolt pattern is 5x4.5, stock wheel weight is 33 pounds

Do you know the offset?? Just curious as I think it should be around +40-50mm, which makes it the same as any '05+ Mustang as well as any '03+ Panther (Crown Vic/Marauder/Grand Marquis/Town Car). This would make the wheel selection very big and cheaper in most cases, because it's such a popular setup.

i don't, but i'll see about measuring one of my wheels tonight

 

[SuperHO]

i'm curious to see which one of you guts his interior first to see how much weight can be lost...also, anyone know what the 3.5 sounds like with a nice exhaust?
