[QUOTE="SHOtime, post: 189681, member: 541919"] FYI The Taurus SHO was actually a quick little sucker. First ones came out in mid 1988 with only a manual transmission. Stock output of the Yamaha-designed V6 was 220 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. Not too shabby for a 3.0 liter! Top speed was around 143 mph. An automatic transmission option surfaced in 1993 model years, which boosted sales considerably. Torque on auto cars was bumped to 215 lb-ft, with displacement at 3.2 liters. In 1996 the redesigned Taurus SHO got a 3.4 liter V8 based on the Duratec V6 design with heads built by Yamaha again. Power was a stout 235 hp. While I agree that the V8 SHO is a fast highway hauler, it is in no way quicker than the original V6 SHO. When all is said and done, however, the SHO is really designed to shine on the open road. Still, Generation I SHOs were as quick as 6.5 seconds in the 0-60 sprint, with autos as quick as 7.2 seconds, and that is bone stock. Sorry for bringing up a long dormant topic, but it's been a long long time since I came here. Dave [URL="http://www.shotimes.com"]http://www.shotimes.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
