Matter of opinion! I haven't heard of to many 4 door cars with FWD considered, "SPORTY". I guess that's just my opinion, but the 2 terms together in the same sentence seem like an oxymoron. I will say,,,the new RX8 is sporty for a 4 door,,,if it can be considered that.a SHO looks way more sporty then a Tbird sorry
I couldn't tell!but of course this is a tbird forum
Elaborate on, "HERE" cause last time I was hanging around the SHO forums there were no where near as many SHO's running consistent 12's as there ar SC's.And every SHO around here would rape any Tbird around here also.
YEAH....RIGHT! I am sure having a little power underneath you when you go down the road has nothing to do with it. I would figure for the most part people would buy a SHO because they like/need FWD and like/need 4 doors. How much fuel are we saving by buying a SHO anyway? 1 MPG? is that if you don't ever get on it.....that's to say if you do even get better economy.Ya some people get shos and just drive them around because they get way better gas millage then regular taurus's.
Smoke another one. Most, "non-biased SHO owners" will admit that their cars don't perform to well off the line in comparison to an SC. We have quite a large torque advantage. Now, if you want to talk from a roll,,,,we are in a different ballgame. The SHO can pull waaay hard.Overall at any speed from a dead stop from a roll any speed a taurus sho will eat a supercoupe weather its a 5 speed or not.
Don't you mean a few car lengths? yes we are heavy, but we have over 100 ft. lbs advantage.You might be a few inches in front of a sho for a sec but after 2nd gear its all over. There just too heavy man
I am sure someone could have exact numbers, but we are more like mid to upper 140's depending on year and transmission. The motor looks way better? looks like any other RICE powered car to me.What is the top speed of a Thunderbird anyway 120 or something wow the sho smokes it there too. And the motor looks way better to boot
superchargedv6 said:Well first off the taurus sho is not my favorite car at all lol. I was just saying that it was faster then a supercoupe " stock" and yes fast SHOs are more rare then fast supercoupes. One big reason is because they are so expensive to make fast and two to get traction in them costs alot of money also. The reason I say sporty who ever said they arnt considerd sporty made an absolute idiotic lie because they are what is called a SPORTS SEDAN. And yes a taurus SHO was one of the 1st real sports sedans. No rice rocket motor has ever looked like the SHO motor. If you know cars this motor resembles more of an exotic cars engine not a ricer although it was designd by Yamaha
And oh yea I know someone that has a SHO that runs better then a 14.8 so the ones you raced were probly very much stock and people who couldnt drive. SHOs were common to dip into the high 14s stock with a good driver. Just like my friends did when he bought it with 50,000 miles. Either way a Taurus SHO isnt a drag car. If you buy a SHO to drag you are a dumb ****.
