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.

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.

The Supra was not stock you could see the big *** 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

Yes, you are correct. It is heavily modded. :P

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.

Oh if the supra had a new big *** frong mount it could just be for an aftermarket intercooler.

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 *** 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
0a.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.
