My plans are to leave it stock for a while. But when I choose to get a warranty delete I plan to get a Livernois tune and the Corsa catback exhaust and a CAI.

Thankfully the main guy at Livernois has a 2010 SHO and has great tunes for them. I think that was his in the video with Shaun(Stinger) racing a while back. It looks like you can get about 90 more horses at the wheels with just those three things. Plus the shift points on the auto can be corrected in the tune.

I will say that I find the paddle shifters almost worthless as the auto mode does an equally good job if not faster.

I think with those things it's a 12+ second car from what I understand. The AWD is getting guys some awesome 60' times.

Ford, just offer us this. A no frills Taurus with no chrome and basic lighting. But with the 3.5L EcoBoost and suspension from the Interceptor. It will sell, oh yes, it will sell.

For sure it will. Reminds me of the old muscle car days when it was a performance motor and a body. Great marketing idea
