[Trixie]

Best wishes with it! Hmmm, I'd like to see it in person.... maybe this weekend?

(have I gotten to the point where I'm just spamming everyone?)

I know its impolite to ask, and I know "If I have to ask, I cant afford it", but what is the window sticker price on that?

 

[maxmk8]

Oh wow i didn't know they sell em already!

Great looking car.

 

[steve]

BTW, are those the factory rims?

 

[Rene]

Very nice, congratulations!

 

[LeoC2]

Very nice, I've been looking for them on the road. What's the HP and engine in that?

 

[Be2lose]

BTW, are those the factory rims?

I'm guessing yes.

Wow, $37K+ starting MSRP that is what i paid for my Mark VIII new after discounts.

But it's 13 YEARS later!!!!

 

[steve]

But it's 13 YEARS later!!!!

12 years for my 97 and 11 for the 98s, I know that is still a long time, but still it is a Ford and not a Lincoln. In the upper 30k to low 40k range there is are so many other cars, some luxury marquees that the competition is fierce. I don’t know enough about SHO yet to know if it can really compete in the price segment with the lower end BMW, Lexus, Audi, Acura, Infinity, even other Lincolns or Caddies.

Nice addition to the fleet.

Very nice, I've been looking for them on the road. What's the HP and engine in that?

Direct Injection, Twin Turbo, 3.5L Duratec V6 365hp&tq

Just a pic of the paddle shifters, automatic 6 speed.

 

[shospeed]

Yeah !
A lot of power in those puppys!!

Love the car!
Congrats I'm sooooo jelous!!

 

[Roadboss]

Some additional pics of interior. And yes, this is no cheap car weather it will compete in the market place favorably against the off shore brands only time will tell. I'm a Ford fan so I can only hope so. I still wish the company would give us back our 2 door Marks, but this helps some.

Fantastic looking interior, ford has really stepped up!

You didn't get the nav eh?

 

[Roadboss]

No, he's not allowed out of the neighborhood LOL !!! This one is pretty much the basic option and not fully loaded so it's under 40 big ones (MSRP).

You know how often I would use those paddle shifters...

um... never...

Nice looking ride...
It looks large, how big is it compared to the MK8?

Hot ride!

I have owned a '95 SHO for the past 7 years and 120k (total vehicle miles 230k!). The new SHO's easily surpass the old generations in quality, speed, and hp (mine is 225hp stock), but man they are fun!

I'm jealous, I have been eyeing those new ones as just look like amazing machines.

A Mark VIII and a SHO have been a great combination for me.

Congratulations!
