Hello Guys,
I just ordered a SHO and was doing a couple internet searchs on the vehicle. I am seeing horrible reviews on the SHO's w/o the Performance Package (PP).
I wanted to order that option, however with the Top package ordered (402A) I can't get the P. Package.
This is one review I read
"We quickly determined the appropriately equipped SHO for this test would've been the one with the $995 Performance package. Though there were test mules lurking in Detroit, Ford unfortunately wasn't able to make this car available to us yet…… So what's missing? It includes more aggressive gearing (to improve acceleration); quicker steering (to improve transitional responses); upgraded brake pads (to improve feel and fade resistance); summer tires (to improve grip, reduce stopping distances and increase heat capacity); and the ability to shut off the conservatively tuned stability control system
When we hit the brakes from 60 mph, the SHO fares poorly against the G37, requiring 127 feet to stop compared to the G37's 110-foot best. What's more, the SHO's pedal grew progressively softer from the first to fifth (and final) stop and the pads smoked after several acceleration runs. The Infiniti's brakes showed no such signs of nearing their limits — ever.
I guess my concern is , should I start over and cancel the order.
Looking further into it, it looks like you can't order the PP with any option that includes the back up camera like the 402A package or with the adaptive cruise control.
Thoughts, ideas, anything ?
