Just bought a 2013 SHO used as an additional car. I new I had a trip coming to Detroit so I put on a new set of 20” Michelin PIlot Sport AS 4 tires. I was skeptical of the claim that it performed well in snow but I did not want to have 2 sets of wheels and tires for this vehicle. I also decided to stop by Livernois Motorsports for a tune, new plugs, and a 3bar sensor. I was amazed at the difference I saw immediately with the tune alone. The car seems so much more responsive and the power delivery is smoother at all RPMs. I continued my journey to Mackinaw City through nasty weather, slush, ice, snow, and wet roads for 3hrs. I was pleasantly surprised at how composed the SHO was in high winds with varying road conditions. The heaviness of the vehicle, power delivery, and traction made me feel very secure that the vehicle was not going to look for a ditch. The NVH of the SHO is awesome. For a nine year old car with 144,000 miles, it drives hushed with out a single rattle. The double panes windows help make it extra quite. I bought this vehicle as a winter car and am very pleased at the value that the Ford SHO provides. I would even say that at the sticker of $47K, a Ford Taurus SHO is a compelling value.
