Default The new Taurus SHO is cool
I know it's a little on the large side, but having a nice sedan that can run 12.75@108 with only a homemade intake and a tune is impressive:


Once the tuning gets better and you do some exhaust mods, I bet low 12's would be relatively easy.

It sounds like a version of the same motor is going in the F150 next year. That could be a lot of fun

They also make an ecoboost Flex. It runs 14.6 stock. I bet with mods you could easily make it run low 13's. Not bad for a 4500lb, 7 seat people hauler

Very nice. Not sure if it will be that much of a sleeper but then again I know too much. I guess most people would just be like..."is that old guy in the 4 door really reving it at me?"

From a stoplight I would want no part of that SHO. Remember, it has AWD so it's advantage in a short race is even greater. That quarter mile time is also quicker than a stock Mustang GT(13.5) by a lot and a Camaro SS(13.0) as well. I'm also confident that due to traction it could probably beat the majority of Vette's and Cobra's in a light to light race too.

There is no such thing as "just" a tune on a turbo car.

I should clarify, as I recall they upped the boost but didn't mess around with timing or anything like that

The new SHO is huge and the cars proportion don't look right to me. Also the car sits very high. I tested one during the summer. Really quick out of the hole with AWD.

BTW the SHO in the video was traded in for 2011 Mustang GT.
