If we're talking about with 2k to mod, the Taurus should go ahead and walk to the victory. It's the same as any other turbo car, minus the fact that I wholeheartedly believe the Taurus is detuned a considerable amount.

I dont have any problems seeing it doing 450hp with a turboback, intake, ECU Mod/Program and some turbo piping, if not more. That 3.5l motor that's in there is a VERY strong motor stock. Same motor as the Ford Edge, if I'm not mistaken? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

And it's just barely a ****hair lighter than the 300c SRT-8

Interesting read on the new Camaro... Taken from another forum I frequent.
Sadly, history repeats itself as GM's only major hit right now, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is seemingly riddled with quality and production flaws:

Camaro Selling Briskly - But Quality-Control Seems Shaky

By Bill Visnic - Edmunds' AutoObserver

One of the bright spots in a bleak inventory of sales numbers for the new General Motors Co. has been the 2010 Camaro. GM executives in recent weeks have pointed to the new-age Camaro as the example of how GM can connect expressive cars with customers willing to pay full price.

Luckily for GM, the car has a receptive audience - after just three months on the market, the Camaro made a major statement by outselling the Ford Mustang in June - because the Camaro's launch has been anything but smooth, largely due to quality-control issues.

After fits and starts, the Camaro rollout hit another pothole this week when GM confirmed to Camaro-enthusiast website Camaro5.com that the company is suspending shipments of Camaro SSs (V8-engined) with manual transmissions while engineers investigate reports of failed output shafts.

It isn't yet known if GM will recall manual-transmission Camaro SSs already sold, but one insider tells AutoObserver it is unlikely given the low numbers involved. Through June, Chevrolet sold a total of 15,397 Camaros, but manual-transmission SS models represent a markedly smaller population.

In January, GM delayed Camaro production for one month, pushing back the start of production at its Oshawa, Ont., Canada, assembly site from Feb. 16 to March 16 as engineers grappled with quality-control and supplier issues.

From there, the Camaro has endured a litany of confirmed and anecdotal quality problems perhaps most entertainingly characterized by an unintentionally humorous list posted at Camaro5.com to help potential new owners scour their Camaro for quality issues reported by other buyers.

The lengthy - and sometimes hilarious - checklist includes such worrying entries as loose oil-pan bolts and oil-cooler leaks; "mismatched paint on parts of the vehicle;" hoods that won't unlatch, intermittent air-conditioning operation; loose emblems and interior trim pieces and misaligned and poorly fitting body panels.

Here's the entire checklist of 65 items the forum suggests new owners inspect before taking Camaro delivery:

001. Loose Bolts that hold fluid back causing leaks (ex: on oil pan, ****** fluid)

002. Trunk Locking mechanism (issues with opening w/o adding down pressure to top of trunk first and/or emergency release appears to be loose keeping the trunk from locking properly)

003. Loose plastic paneling around the 4-gauges cluster, launch control, cigarette power plug as well as Left and Right A-Pillars Trim Loose, sill trim loose, and dash pannel where doors and dash meet popping open.

004. Loose Spoiler/installed correctly (Re-torque Spoiler bolts)

005. Wiper transmission cable overheating from engine causing a short circuit.

006. Matching Headlight Halos strength. (one defective being dimmer then the other).

007. Mismatched paint on parts of the vehicle (including gas door). As well as paint runs or clear coat runs. Paint Chips.

008. Loose Rocker Panel "Chevrolet" causing it to peel off.

009. Minor Problem With Window Indexing.

010. Ambient Lighting on doors defective.

011. Bad radiator (leaks).

012. Hood release/latch issues (won't unhook to open the hood).

013. Gap at base of OnStar Antenna.

014. Battery cable routing near the starter has been done.

015. Digital Speedometer is off. Also keeps going on and off.

016. Bottom pulley shakes and needs replacement per dealer.

017. Broken ******.

018. Ignition Mechanism Issue with key getting stuck in car.

019. Non RS taillights installed on RS equipped cars (all 4 of them).

020. Rocker Panel aligned with body and clipped in correctly.

021. Bumper rubs with body

022. Trunk opens with switch and remote

023. Correct speedo/tach gauge ring color

023. Ambient lighting on drivers door as bright as passenger door

024. Doors gaps /alignment

025. Dirt/bubbles in rally stripes

026. Door panel not scratched from seat belt.

027. Shift knobs wearing out extremely fast could be faulty material

028. AC system stops blowing cold air in random durations, most likely blockage in AC drainage and/or AC draining into the car instead of beneath it

029. Clunking noise in changing gears

030. Trunk opens with remote and laser cut key

031. USB drive and aux port works

032. Squeaky Breaks

033. GFX installed correctly

034. Rims and tires in good condition (coming off carrier in bad condition/damaged)

035. Check for damage in the interior, basic procedure

036. Check the locking mechanism of both doors

037. Scraping sound for a second when backing up

038. SS emblem on trunk is loose

039. Loose interior windshield trim loose

040. The front GFX lip is not coming loose at the double sided tape

041. The front passenger brake rotors are not wearing with a dark colored groove

042. Hood latch handle on inside of cab doesn't retract properly (just hangs)

043. Scratches in seats

044. Oil cooler leaking

045. Once in every 10-15 times I unlock the car, the drivers side door is still locked, while

the locking knob on the door is in the "up" position

046. Faulty as gauge (improper readings)

047. Missing paint around the headlights

048. Bleed screw on clutch slave cylinder loose

049. Stickers on rockers peeling

050. Scratches on window pillars

051. Misaligned body & door panels as well as hood not centered properly (more to one side then the other)

052. Alignment of doors to dash interior the door interior seems to sag below the dash interior

053. Drivers side roof light( the one with the toggle switch) only works when its toggled over to the passenger side

054. Door sill decals peeling up

055. Paint swirls in driver/passenger door

056. Drive-shaft connection to the differential cracking when dropping the clutch

057. Tach Needle Sticking

058. Wiper motor wiring comes through bottom of the cowling-well in front of the driver. (The fix (decided upon between the dealer and myself) was to re-insulate the wires, cover the harness with a hard, slick plastic covering, drill a small hole in the bottom of the cowling-well (fill the hole with silicone) and use a cable tie down like the rest of the wiper harness uses to secure the harness to the floor of the cowling (the grommet will collapse downward with little force), far away from harm from the wiper arms.)

059. engine makes continuous clicking noise, starting roughly 5 seconds after engine starts

060. Door Sill plates wrinkled on outside edges (both sides)

061. Trunk gasket at bottom of rear window coming off

062. Uneven Dash (driver's side dash is lower then passenger's side)

063. Passenger/Driver's side Fender alignment off. (wheel cover well had to come off, then loosen fender bolt, and it pops right in place)

064. Key won't stay in folded position

065. Faulty Tail lights.

That not an srt that is a 300c, you have no idea what you are talking about. Look at the actuall CAR not what the video says. Theres not body kit, no 20s, it isnt lowered. ON top of all that, it even says the 300 is 5.7L, SRT-8 is a 6.1L, that car is on a enitirel different level.

taurus 13.7 at 103.... srt-8 14.1

 

[KyngHype 10+ year member]

It's not quite as fast as the SRT-8 300c, but it's just a ****hair behind it.
Now, if we're talking about with 2k to mod, the Taurus should go ahead and get the victory. It's the same as any other turbo car, minus the fact that I wholeheartedly believe the Taurus is detuned a considerable amount.

I dont have any problems seeing it doing 450hp with a turboback, intake, ECU Mod/Program and some turbo piping.

It's just barely a ****hair lighter than the 300c SRT-8 though haha

I like the sound of NA cars. The SHO may be quick, but it is not a performance car. It now where near on par with the SRT vehicles suspension/brakes/chassis, it just has a nice engine....

If I were the OP, I'd be rolling in my brother's 300ZX until I made up my mind. If it is a 300ZX TT, I'd keep it just for the hassle of him totaling my vehicle. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Meh, my bad just read topic. Either way they are only getting low 14 and very high 13 out of stock SRT-8 300C. Taurus is seeing 13.7 at 103. Either way a tune, exhaust and intake 12's fo sho.
