New Owner on board

[Night hawk]

Hello all,
I'm a new owner of a used 2010 tuxedo black SHO. I've had a long history of owning forced induction fords from svo's to a 2003 Cobra. I think they hit it out of the park with this SHO.

My only mods to this point is synthetic oil and weather tech floor mats. I look forward to learning more about its potential as time goes on.
:woo-hoo:

Welcome! Got my 2012 white platinum a month or so ago....almost 3000 miles later, I'm continually blown away..

Awesome auto, for sure.

Thanks guys, glad to be here, member of the team, part of the squad!!

Base line 1/4 mile times to date 14.0 flat @ 100mph on 20" rims no mods.

Welcome Night Hawk and congrats on the new whip.

Only mod you'll need is a tune from LMSRick. worth every cent.

I have the same car (2010 black), bought it used with 22K on it back in February of this year. I have progressively modified it and have enjoyed it every single day, like it was the first time I was driving it. I now almost have 36K miles on it and I still look for reasons to leave the house at night.. I almost looks like I have a mistress! lol... As Colin suggested, you should look a Livernois' tunes... by far the best investment to wake up the beast in that car... From 14 flat at 100, you should improve by more than 0.5 seconds and 4mph just with the tune... Enjoy and welcome aboard!

Congrats and welcome! I have the same color and they are super sharp (when clean. I havent ran mine but 14 is pretty common stock. I just put a stage 2 tune from LMS, will run it Oct 29 weather permitting.

Mods are fun but these thing are fun stock. Everyday I leave work I smile when I get in it!

Well got my final baseline runs in today stock as a rock with good track conditions and temps. Weighed in at a portly 4558lbs with me and 3/4 of a tank of gas.

1st run 2.0 60' 13.79@ 101.02

2nd run 2.1 60' 13.88@ 101.04

3rd run 2.1 60' 13.84@ 100.64

the rest were in the 13.8's

I do not have the performance pak option and
have the 20" rims on stock tires.

I'm pretty impressed needless to say.

Welcome

I see your in my neck of the woods (Somewhat), New Bedford MA myself. Did you go to NE Dragway for those time?

I was there last weekend with my 2011 (Ingot Silver).

Started the day at 13.97 @ 100.7

I tried a bunch of different launch RPMs and ended up with 13.59 @ 102.4 on my last run.

Bone stock myself

 

[EcoBrick Bob]

A stand alone tranny tune should give you a couple tenths.

 

[Night hawk]

Yep it was at NE Dragway. 13.59 is freakin GREAT!! Do you have the same set up with the 20" rims and non perf package? Was that your car on youtube last year posting a 13.9?

 

[Skyking]

Mine does not have the performance pack and "only" 19" wheels.

That was my first time running her and the person I was with didn't want to take any videos.

Great job on the time! I will have to run with less than 3/4 of a tank next time lol, my bad. Prob knock a tenth or two off.

if you remove 1/2 a tank, it is about 60lbs, about .06 seconds less...

If you go driver-less... with remote control... just think how fast you can go! LOL

sooo THATS how you ran that time!!! A track MASTERMIND you are!!!! lol How funny would that be, a bunch of owners in the bleachers with their remotes!!

I was trying to figure out how much quicker it would run on a smaller rim compared to the 20" pimpin rims lol
