You've really got a hard-on for this Taurus don't you? It is FWD isn't it?

Admittedly there have been some cool FWD cars, but in a competition for the coolest American sedan ever, it's going to have to be RWD if not AWD.

It is AWD. I don't have a hard-on for one. It's too heavy for my taste. Having said that, I do think it's impressive seeing a 4500lb(that's what he weighed in at with driver) sedan going 12.75 with minimal mods.

All things being equal I'd rather have a G8 GXP though :thumbs_up:

4500lbs, damn. Must make a lot of power to run in the 12s. The AWD helps I'll bet.

The last tune bumped the boost by about 4lbs. AWD helps with the launching a lot. You put all the power to the pavement.
