The SHO is badass, but people just don't really know about it, the new ones are a POS, I beat one in the max, and its a v8, Like you said though, the 90 to 95 with the YAMAHA is sweet!!!!

definitely, my friend has a 5 speed 95 SHO. i beat him but it's definitely quick. his is the 3.2 high output 6 cylinder. i don't think they make 8 cyliner ones. unless the new ones are 8's. after they chaged the body style of the taurus i lost all interest. the SHO was the ultimate sleeper

89 SHOs are the fastest because they are the lightest. 89-95 All had the Yamaha V6 220hp 200ft-lbs. 89-92 were all 3.0liter MTXs. 93-95 Automatics became more available with 3.2liter 220hp and 215ft-lbs. The ATX's are slower than the MTX 5 speeds. 96-99 (Gen III oval) came with a 3.4 V8 and only an ATX. The V8 SHO are much heavier than the V6 SHOs.

Yes, Yamaha designed the 3 liter motor to push 300hp. Ford gave it a really crappy exhaust, lower cam profiles, installed horns in the runners, and retarded the timing. There are people with 300hp NA SHO motors. I am trying to find a very low milage 3.2(found in Auto's) to swap in. The motor was severly overbuilt, in fact, there is a guy in my club with a blower on his pushing 445.3 hp to the wheels(530 hp crank) on stock internals.

Those SHO's are real sleepers, but the value on them is Shit. I saw two of them on sale next to a train track. one of them had 17's on them but I'm cool.
