JT, shutup, you dont know nitrous from club soda.

:D

Nice work, whoever owns that car. A 12.7 coasting at the 1000 mark is cookin pretty good. Keep us posted on what it runs with the new setup.

This thread has got to hold the record for most noobies. I got a shitload of pm's about the original kit and I'll get everyone a price tomorrow. I know you have to eliminate your ABS to get it to fit so just a heads up if your interested.

The reason he coasted on the 12.7 run was becuase he ran this time at the last day of the track and wanted to give it all it got and melted the #6 piston. The car is a really consistent 12.9 with a handful of 12.8 runs so the car has proven itself plenty of times.

A cage is only necessary for 11's so hopefully we'll get kicked out of the track on the 27th. ;D

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

Haha us newbs are all over it like Michael Jackson on a little boy, just kiddin, but us SHO owners are VERY excited to see another turbo SHO running around, especially one with such a nice setup.

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

Yeah, it's not looking good for TEAM ME, on this turbo thing. (My wife won't let me spend that kind of cash, until I at least move the car out of the garage. But Whitey, if you send me all that info, I'll post it somewhere, to get it some attention.
Thanks for the info!
Tony

And damnnn I'm not on the top 10 list anymore for most posts. I did pass the 2K mark ;D

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

Hey Whitey, what's the word? Anymore track time?

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

That things a beast man, You guys get anymore good races lately?

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

The newest time was that 12.5 and that was when we were trying to dial it in. It was a shitty day at the track becuase of weather so we only got that one run in. The car hasn't been to the track yet becuause the trans wants to be a bitch and keeps exploding. It probably doesn't help that he's out launcing the ---- out of it on the street ::) Hopefully this Saturday we can go to the track cause I gotta run my car too but its not a guarantee yet. I'll let everybody know...


The latest kill was a Mustang with a 347 stroker motor in it. The guy and all his friends almost ---- themselves with a Taurus smoked him. 8)

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

Gotta bump for some new times, if ya gottem. After seeing this set-up I went out and bought an abrasive mider saw ( for cutting piping with perfect angles ), and got a flex-core welder from a friend ( yes the gas-less welder sucks and makes ugly welds ). I'm working on doing some intercoolering piping on a Sr20 swapped 240sx ( 200K+ mile POS car with a bad ass motor ), then I'll be redoing the intercooler piping on my HMT civic.
Thanx for the idea.

My friends first car was a SHO, and he said the entire car fell apart around the heads, intake, and block ( meaning everything from water pumps, starters, altinators, fuel pumps, wiring, trannies ) and it ran 15.6. But who am I to judge the SHO, everyone says the 3S is a POS too, but I tend to disagree...

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

So, Whitey..

Give us an update

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

where you from in pa? my wife is from altoona and im moving back there here in november

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

The car hasn't been back to the track since the 12.5 run. He really stopped working on the car cause he bought a bike. The car is overpowered for the trans and it keeps blowing out 3rd gear when you take it above 15psi so he was going to get stainless gears for it but he spent the money on the bike instead. Hopefully this winter he'll actually get back into the car cause it still never seen a full pass at the track.





I'm from Pottstown (right outside Philly) but right now I'm at Penn State

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

good deal right down the road

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

pics are down nucca, got any updates? :-\

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

lol, newbieforces killed these pics, I'll get some new ones soon. The update is the car is now scrapped. He bought another SHO, a black one with leather interior and he transferred everything from the white one to his new black one. I guess he was sick of the hardcore race look of everything gutted. :-\ At around Christmas I'll take pics of the new car and its non ghettoness. I personally liked the way it was, nothing sounded cooler than that car.

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

I know of a really good weight reduction, plop that motor in a first gen escort, the one with a manual steering rack. Should have no problem's getting it under 2000lbs.
I have seen the regular Tarus 3.0 V6 bolt up to the stock mounts, so I'd guess the SHO one would aso. And your sleeper points would go up a notch.

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

im pretty sure ive seen that car a few times before!!! do you have a few movies up on a couple SHO sites?? cuz if it is the car i think it is.. that is sick. that think spooles like crazy. good work on braking the axles. LOL, well im a fellow SHO owner myself and im jellous. i got a 92 dark green SHO with a few tricks.

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
 

Thats another SHO thats on all the videos. I think ours is faster anyway ;)

Re:12 second Ford Tarus *PICS* No 56K
