Bone stock SHO vs EVO X

[HEMI LOL]

long week. got home, wife and I decided on Thai food. she calls it in and i go get it. walking about the door i realize i need to throw my check in the bank.

its WA, so its pouring rain…i pass on the keys to the 5.0 and grab the SHO key.

driving along, massaging seat on, heated seat on, blasting some tunes. next thing i know i get passed by a nice looking EVO X. white on black wheels.

i roll up to the next light and get next to him. he's blasting some dub step, and my SHO is bone stock and totally silent so i get his attention by slowly inching forward.

GREEN.

we don't launch, but begin the slow roll and then l let him jump once he hits it. jumps out half a car and to my shock i stop his pull. we both let out around 70. on a "city" street.

next light he's now aware of the game. i stall up the SHO(which then lets it leave under full boost).

GREEN. we are DOOR to DOOR. get to 70 or so and let out.

Next light, i cut a better reaction time and nose out a fender. stay there again to around 70.

next light he comes up, rolls down his window and says…"what in the **Edited by moderator, we have a profanity filter, do not bypass it** is that thing!"

i replied "appreantly as quick as an evo" roll my window up and pull into the Thai restaurant for my food. :rockon:

Good story. Way to represent and be a dick at the end of it.

I don't think he was being a dick.

Dude in Evo: "what in the **Edited by moderator, we have a profanity filter, do not bypass it** is that thing!"

Reply: "apparently as quick as an evo"


Well apparently it is. Now if he wanted to be a dick he could have cussed the guy out for listening to dubstep.

 

[HEMI LOL]

i thought it was whitty. i really didn't mean it that way.

Nice kill opie.

 

[roy_1031]

Nice kill, I wanna drive a SHO now too. I use to live on the other side of the mountains in the tri cities.

 

[HEMI LOL]

they are a ton of run to drive in that nobody expects them to be as quick as they are. or as luxurious as they are.

its springs/dampers/sways away from being a shockingly good handling FULL SIZE sedan.

and we all know what they can do at a drag strip. love the car to death for sure.

 

[ScreamingFast]

Ecoboost! Nice kill OP!

 

[Coyote'13]

Nice kill, does that thing spin the tires in the wet or just hook and go?

 

[03 deadpool]

Nice kill op but you got the thirst now and the wife will be saying "why does my car need that "

I raced a stockish SHO a few weeks in my 5.0. I spun the shit out of it out of the light and he stayed fender to fender with me until I let out at 60ish because I wasn't going to do stupid illegal speeds in a construction zone, on a crowded city street. I don't think he would have faired as well from a roll on the highway though.

I have a SHO for my company car and it's a blast to drive. Get the Livernois tune though, it's a whole new car with their 4+ tune. I ran a 13.2 at the track, should go 12.9s since I added springs. I was spinning thru 2nd, lol. Add meth and down pipe and you are running sub 12.5s in a 4500+lb sedan.

 

[TheMachWON]

The SHOs are fun cars for sure. I have out ran lots of cars in our sho. Tune only my wifes car has been 12.84@108

I love that you take your your company car to the track... awesome.

 

[HEMI LOL]

it spin for a fraction of a second in the wet. its FWD based "awd".

I've been resisting tuning it. i bought a ford extended warranty, more for all the tech the car has. i know the power train is pretty stout. i know that they can't deny me coverage if sync goes out because of a tune….but still. maybe i should just stop being a pussy. lol

 

[turd burglar]

You just answered your own question there man!

 

[kcsvt94l]

Yeah my wife has a SHO also. It poo poo's on my 5.0 from a dig till I get into triple digits. It's about to get alot of weight added to it this winter though, as well as my 5.0 getting a whole slew of new mods.

 

[jason6488]

I thought the shos were pretty badass. if I was more of a family guy I would have gotten one.

 

[k4u2luz2]

Get the tune! And now! I have an extended warranty as well and I even told the guy I deal with at the dealer and they have never denied anything because of it. With that said, I have 84K miles on my 2010 and I have only had a few stupid things go wrong. (None with any part of the power train)
