Rode in a SHO tonight...
So has anybody else ever heard about or looked into 90-95 Ford Taurus SHO's? This kid at work was talkin about it to me anytime he had the chance and was asking me a bunch of questions about the necessities in turbocharging it. Him, amongst others at work know I'm into DSM's. Anyways, at first I thought it was a joke. Then he asks me if I wanna go for a ride in it. I thought, what the hell, why not... Holy shit... I shall never underestimate the ability of a Taurus again. This thing was beyond damn impressive for a stock Taurus. He launches it from this stop sign and I look over and in no time at all we were doing 60mph. I honestly think if he is serious about building the motor a little bit and eventually turbocharging it, then it could give the DSM's around here a damn good run for their money. The thing ran better than my Talon did when it was stock and I ran a 15.0 at the track when I was stock!

A buddy of mine bought one from the junk yard once for $500 and all it needed was a clutch. Those cars are fast as hell, hence the SHO (Super High Output)

Re: Rode in a SHO tonight...
WOW! They are rare as shit too. I have seen like 4-5 ever and that was in NYC. Never thought about them. Kind of weird to say 'taurus' and 'fast' in the same sentence......
