    Im surprised i have a marauder at 17. Cant take turns above 25 or 30 without sliding a little on the seat.

    I'm skinny, therefore never cared for the Marauder seats. They bolster absolutely nothing for me!

    I had to wedge 2 liters on both sides the one and only time on an auto X...

    I had a 2010 SHO for three years. The first 6 months I enjoyed the car but the FWD bias of the drivetrain on 2010-12 really started to wear on me. I got a tune from Torri at Unleashed, but I've heard recently a lot of issues with his tuning because of SCT. LMS was my next choice but I didn't get that far. I had the BCM and PTU (transfer case) replaced under warranty. When I sold it I had 130k miles on it and wasn't sad to see it go.

    The Marauder seats are crappy and sit wait too tall in the car.. pondered installing 15+ Mustang seats in it, would be much more enjoyable IMO.

    Great color, nice car - I definitely have a soft spot for the SHO but have always hoped they would get lighter and even sportier (faster). I had a 5 speed '94, If it was rear wheel drive I'd still have it. THough your AWD must be nice - just wait for winter - that will be awesome. I also had a 95 automatic. They are definitely great compromise cars - sporty and practical - without having to spend the dollars on an S63, M5 or a Panamera Turbo

    The more I drive it the more I like it, and regarding the AWD in the snow I'm sure it will be great as I intend to put on interceptor steelies on it with snows all around.

    I'm missing the Marauder even though I have not sold it yet. I love driving it

    Always have liked the SHO. Livernois Performance here in Michigan does wonders for the SHO with the different upgrades they offer. You can check out many of them on YOUTUBE. Hope you enjoy your new ride.

    I've checked them out and just with a just a tune they say it's a gain of 59 hp and 88 foot pounds of torque...WoW !!
    Little pricey though at $600, it seems everything for the SHO is more expensive as compared to the Marauder, but for that kind of gain it's not bad.

    I had an LMs tune on my '11 MKS and it ran a 12.94 on a cool night. AWD will help you go, but don't expect to steer or stop on those fat tires, so steeliness are a good idea. You got a nice car!

    Tempting, I would much rather buy a MM from a member here than all the Craigslist specials out there.
