So... why'd you make this thread again?
|
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
its a yamaha motor, all the japs pretty much copy each other
|
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
there was a guy on here a while ago with a turbo'd sho. It was pretty quick if I remember correctly, and they are pretty stout engines. Though I haven't had good experiences with fords lately

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
Not much Ford about that car other than the name.
|
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
Buddy had one and liked it. Then he crashed it and that was the end of that.

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
220HP stock, and are suprisingly somewhat light for a 4 door. Parts are expensive, but like anything.. w/ ARP headstuds, and a MHG, those engines are extremely durable, and are made to take alot of abuse. The 1989 SHO is actually the fastest year of the SHO, due to its lighter weight. And the newer body style SHOs with the V8s are homo and had alot of probs. The 89-95 SHOs are neat little sleepers.

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
Didnt Whitey have a turbo SHO ? Coworker just picked one up, hes wanted one a while....are the trannys yamaha too, or is that a Ford creation?
|
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
yeah its a 91 with the plus pachage so it has a power sun roof and heated/ power seats and leather int its not a bad car and yes they say with just pistons the motor can hold up tp 750hp wich i will never puch it that far maybe a exaughst system and a nitrous kit see if i can get it to the 13s on slick as long as the clutch holds..oh and i made this post just to see if some of you guys had any experiance with them cause i dont know much about it other then its a pretty quick familly car..

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
PIMP!

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
There was a badass one on here years ago. I think they may have gotten it into the tens with a big ass Mack truck turbo or something. The problem was the axles they would only last a few passes before the cv's ground themselves into dust.

It was my buddy's car. It traped like 118mph on street tires without even making a full pass and definitely pulled like a freight train. That car was a ton of fun at the street races. The major flaw was the car kept blowing out 3rd gear. The trans just couldn't hold the power even when it was running a quaife LSD. With some different gears it would have ran low 11's without breaking a sweat. |

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
friend had a 95. they are sweet cars and can take tons of power without even taking the vc's off. but yea trannys are garbage. the v8 ones are gay and auto
|
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
i used to have a 93, and now i have a 90. they are great cars. the diff is weak, so try not to do a bunch of burnouts. the auto cars are boring, but the 5spd cars are a ton of fun. also check out shoforum.com

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
great fun, and if there was a way to swap that little v8 in to the 89-95 body with a 5speed it would be awsome
then boost it to arround 12psi and run 11's on street tires all day without breaking a sweat also i had an olds aurora (4.0L doch v8 rated at 240hp and 260ft-lbs) man those things are quick for being a big heavy family sedan (tho it was auto it had a manual shift gait that made it a little more fun) and those auroras sound sick with pipes http://youtube.com/watch?v=UvmCoYHh1tU |
Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
lol those cars are gay... sho's are alright if your not going to beat it to death

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
Johnny's just cornfuzed 'cause of your relatively noob status, and the fact that you might know as much about cars as he does(if not more). This cornfuzion automatically triggers Johnny natural instinct of assholism and faggotry.

Re: opinoins: taurus sho...
Either way, if you get the taurus, I suggest slapping an air horn on it, and 2 huge ass subs. And rally it thru anything and everything :y haha.
