with just a tune and some a CAI they are running 12.7's :vroam:

That tune adds a lot of power if I remember theyre severely detuned from the factory.

But can you run such an aggressive tune without blowing it up?

Reliability is still unknown since its too new I would guess but as long as the tune has no lean spots and the fuel can keep up I dont see why not? Can I ask what that has for a fuel pump though to support the power?

I will say that it's a pretty nice looking car, much nicer than the bland looking 500/Taurus style.

blah ... it's still a ford...

yea thats what i say when people are talking about these..its still a taurus

my mom should buy one of these when the lease is up on her lincoln mkz

Does that thing come with a Mustang motor? The styling looks alittle too much like Mazda to me.

phhhh the funny thing is its a v6 and it puts down more than a GT does stock i think LOL

3.5L V6 Twin turbo

It's rated at 365hp in the SHO and 355hp in other cars. AWD helps that car move out good.

for 40k they can keep it.

oh and you can say it's just a tune however I bet that is electronicaly controled boost settings so a tune is also a shit load more boost.

yup yup still they should just give up on the 4.6 and use it in the GT LOL

I had the chance to look at this car..the look the stance the interior and the power its worth every bit 40K.

This is not the 1980's Taurus. They hit a homerun with this car..and this is the top of the top one too..the basemodel is going o be far cheaper...


and I heard the same drivetrain is in the Lincoln MK something..

yuck, ford taurus.....lame

Still A Ford.....

Eeewwwwwwwwww Ford Turtle, I mean Taurus

I have onwed cars and trucks from all three and never had a problem with them...I think of it this way...I am for anything GM or Ford. I support the American Auto Industry period.. And I still support Chrysler but there owned by Fiat. ;)

I am sick of the pedeslte Toyota and Honda are on that is not true and a car like the SHO and the regualr Taurus just proves there are just as good cars from both GM and Ford that are out there that beat the cookie cutter lame as crap from Toyota and Honda.

And ohh if you guys remember on the old board I was talking about Buick having some of Pontiacs "excitement" pumped into it...well words comming down very soon about that too..been leaked out in a few areas but I think they idea of rolling in a hot rod buick might be comming back!! ;)

Yeah but how many people are going to drop almost $40,000 on a taurus

the same people that are going to drop 36k on a lancer or a wrx but want to buy domestic

The thing is this cars loaded...go take a look at one. I thought I was sitting in a mid level luxury vehicle. This cars almost there in CTS quality and appointments.
It is not your father Taurus..this is a whole new bull.

Now you sound like a Ford salesman! :haha:

hmm cts or tortuous dang thats tough bwaaaaa ha ha ha ha

Dave, your going to lose this argument! Quit while your somewhat ahead please! lol

hahah really have to think about that nawt!:Goodone:

Still A Ford.......

Ummmm yeah I doubt that, somehow I think they are VERY different markets, I'm just saying for $40K you are running with some big name cars

Cant you get a C6 vette for around that price now? Isnt a GT500 only 10k more? Nissan 370z is less than 40k as well. All of which I would pick before getting a Taurus. And if you want to compare apples more, I would deffinately take a new Acura TL over a Taurus.

or a 5th gen camaro ss you can get for 40k

yeah my dad got his brand new Challenger R/T Classic 6 speed for 37k

Fo SHO it blows. Would rather have a G8

Would rather have almost anything RWD with a V8, short of a Crown Vic or a truck.

i guess you can get the base model v8 with out anyother options for like 32k
i have not seen one in person but i read it in motor trend a couple days ago

Challenger look pretty cool... But it's really fat, weighs alot, would get a g8 gxp or even a 06 07 z06 for 5 or 6k more
