It's SHO time!
I got a 1990 SHO yesterday. I have never been so, uhhh, amused by a car in my whole life. Sure, it goes pretty fast and the interior is very, very nice, but they didn't do much other than a slight body kit to cover up the fact that it's a Taurus. I was cruising with the other Dave (Pabst guy) on the freeway. He was driving a Jetta GLX, we were going about 120 south of I-5 through the corners south of bellingham. Very, very scary ---- in a Taurus. But from cruising at about 85-90, it will pull away from the GLX VR6. Not bad for a Ford P.O.S.

Re:It's SHO time!
No, I can't bring myself to do it... not yet anyway. I have a T04E, but it's for my Corolla. What would I tell my Corolla??? I think some Flowmasters and a chip and intake will suffice to get me around. I lost to a WRX last night, although not by much. He launched good, then I passed him and revved out for longer (to 7000+ in first) and the he spooled in second and ran away. I need to do something. Maybe fog it?

Re:It's SHO time!
yeah I'll give the ford sho credit its a pretty fast car and you can make it even faster. But keep in mind that supra that was raped might have been stocked. Remember if you tuned a supra it can be pretty fast too. ;)

Re:It's SHO time!
The Supra was not stock you could see the big ass front mount on it, The SHO is a proven 12 second car, probably 11 second this season. With an intake and exhaust and a little tuning it was 14.5 all motor which is respectable

12 seconds? maybe hella modded.. 220hp in a 3100lb chassis is a 14 second car at most

Yes, you are correct. It is heavily modded. :P __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Re:It's SHO time!
A toyota supra is 320 horsepower with twin turbos. Its 1/4 mile is 13.3 seconds. The japanese supra is around that spec. So if the sho was a 12 second car put it up with a heavly modified supra and then see how fast it is. Here is the link for the specs i got.

Re:It's SHO time!
I just got back from the street races tonight again in the SHO and we beat 4 Trans Am WS6's. Again we got no respect until we raced the first one, kicked its ass and came back and asked who's next. These are 350hp RWD v8's and we killed all of them, even the one on nitrous. Again its 6:30a.m, this is the truth. I'm getting pictures of it tomorrow if I get up before 5:00 in the afternoon. If somebody knows how to get footage from a videotape onto a computer I'll get vids too.
