The Taurus SHO is back! Get a load of this, 365 horsepower and 350 pounds of torque. It's a very impressive looking car. Government Motors is gonna need to step it up

But it's a danged ol' Ford, one of the hardest cars to work on.

 

[SebJr]

Bring it on

 

[SixActual]

IMO........Not a bad looking ride.

I got an evil black vintage GM that will spank that ride at the dragstrip
Anything domestic that makes 350+ HP even if its wrong wheel drive is all right in my book...

Its 4 wheel drive, still want to take it on at the strip?

Boy, I hope its not as hard to repair as the older SHOs....ever do a head gasket job on them?? Its not cheap!

No thanks!!

They are bragging on the site about V6 mileage and V8 power. GM has been doing that for 12 years with the LS motors.

 

[savage71chevelless]

If I want a 4 door with power, I will still take a G8 GT all day long over that thing

yup...20 lbs. of boost on 110 octane w/some Hoosier QT DOT Pros for traction will get it done.

Sure, I will take my Trailblazer SS to the track, just to make it fair.

they are so reliable, you don't ever have to touch em

LOL I just read the write up in Car and Driver. 4346lbs, observed 16mpg, could hardly chirp the tires, 0-60 in 5.2 using two turbos on a v6. l

My neon runs that with a single turbo, 2.4ltr 4 banger, and 130 less hp. And it gets 20mpg. Yes that is stock, the way it came from the factory. The factory even has a stage 3 kit that puts it in the mid 12s.

But what I really have to know is why my 37 year old el camino with a 500hp 427 can get the same 16mpg as this new car in town? Besides the fact that the new car gets 20mpg highway, while my brick gets 22mpg. :yes:

You would NEVER see one in my driveway!!:noway:

 

[1971 Chevelle]

16mpg Go to LS1tech and see how people with LS1's,2's,and 3's make more power and get 25-30 on the highway. Someday, Ford, someday.

 

[RyanNilcea05]

I bleed blue, it's true

 

[chevele72]

Didn't Mercury Marine design that motor in the older SHO's? It's funny how Ford has to put blowers on stuff to make HP when GM can do it NA!
Just my thoughts out loud. Jody

I like it.:thumbsup: Of course you can't beat the classic styling of a Pacifica.
