Get a '96 or '97 Taurus GL or G with a blown engine or trans if possible, with a blown engine or trans this should run about $2000, a running one should be about $5000-$6000. Then get the 4.6L DOHC engine, AX4N trans, ECU, and motor and trans mounts from a '96+ Lincoln Continental. Do some headwork on the 4.6 and get an AFC and you're looking at a reliable and good looking mid 14 second taurus for under $10000. With nitrous you'd be solidly in the 13's but I'm not quite sure the trans could handle the 350hp that setup would put down without some modification.
LOL, good luck with that. Seeing how the 4.6 is rwd and the biggest engine in a taurus is the 3.8L V6 and the SHO 3.4L V8. Just get a SHO...
