Depending on if I can wiggle the guy down a little I am looking at a low mileage 2018 or a similar mileage 2014. one is local and the other not.

they seem to have a lot of features for the money which is what is swaying me from a c6 vette which is just pure toy and not very practical.

does the SHO satisfy long term or does the party shut down quick with things like reliability and costs ? and yes i know it cost money to own cars ..this is like car number 45 or so in my life...

I was looking at mustang gt also but I have already had 3 of them. the SHO is an odd car and I had a 1990 SHO and loved its odd self

I have a 2018 and just hit 80,000 miles. Bought it used with 7K on it. Other than brakes and tires I have done absolutely nothing to this car. Yes, a few mods and change my oil every 3K. Radiator, trans, PTO and rear diff have been changed twice. Like every Ford I have owned (other than anything with a AOD Trans) they are super reliable. Almost paid off and if I had to get something else I would just find another one. Just love these cars because they can do everything and love the snow as much as they do nice weather.

just like anything you can get a Friday build. I have a 13 I got new now has 102K mile and has been a great car. you have to keep up on the fluid changes on these cars or you will pay the price. Also can get a good bit more power out of them with a good tune. Fun cars for what you pay for them but if your on car 46 you might have a car problem.....:smash:

As a previous owner of a c6 at the same time as the sho. The sho can easily be made to have more power in like 3k$ and is awd and twice the fuel economy.
I sold the c6 because it wasnt as fun as the sho and wasnt being driven
