Its definitely a high tech, luxurious performance sedan BUT its not a sports sedan. I'm not sure what you're looking for but its a heavy car, a FWD platform, the brakes are undersized, and its automatic only. I also think its a bit overpriced.

Yea I also think it's over priced if I had the money I'd wait a couple years to get one used, ohh and also if you think it's not a performance car look at the video of an sho running a 12.75 on nothing but a tune and I belive the cars are AWD not front

he new SHO comes with Ford's new SR1 suspension setup with MacPherson front struts and a multi-link design in the rear. This includes SHO-specific shock absorbers, springs, stabilizer bars and strut mount bushings. An optional Performance Package offers better brake pads, recalibrated steering, a "Sport Mode" for the stability control and shorter 3.16 to 1 final drive ratio.

its a great car i drove 1 today and it felt tighter n the corners than my bestfriends 09 challenger rt it didnt have that fun factor of a rwd v-8 loved the nifty stuff inside and everything was in reach and easy to read. only complaint is the climate controls but i gues its cuz im easily confused. its quite but got a mean growl when u open the taps

I said that it is a FWD platform. Yes, the cars are all AWD but they have a ton of weight forward in the chassis since the base models are all FWD. The reviews I've read have all confirmed that the car is more of a performance oriented sedan, minus the "sport"... prone to understeer and body roll with brakes that tend to fade.

I have seen the video of the tuned SHO running 12.75 but I just feel there isn't a ton of upside from there without significant mods... especially the tranny.
