Was going out yesterday afternoon to get some batteries for the mini strobs for Halloween and decided to go to the new BIG Walmart store cause they have sales when others don't. Anyway curising down 97 when I came up on a new black SHO with tinted windows, car looked pretty hot with the windows tinted! Anyway he must have seen me in the rearview and he punches it and starts to pull away so I nail it and the pulling stops after a few seconds and now I'm walking him down! So I figured he must have let off and so do I as to not run into him. We slow back down to about 60 and as I go to pass him in the middle lane he once again punches it and puts a quick car on me and I follow suit and THIS time I stay in it cause there's no more cars around and I want to see whats gonna happen. And once again he stops pulling and I start to walk him down and I stayed in it and drove right on past him and watched as then I put a car on him! Followed by 2 cars and then 3 and then he must have lifted cause I started counting bus lengths. I got over in the right lane to take my exit and he drove up and gave a thumbs up to which I returned we both waived and I made my turn.

So in the end it was G8 GT=1 Taurus SHO=0 But I do have to say that the SHO can REALLY leap when they first mash down on the gas! I also must add the fact that I'm SURE the only reasons I beat him were his AWD sucking his high end HP down and the fact that he must have still been all stock, but to be fair so am I. Red light to red light tho I'm sure this would have gone the other way. Not a bad car all in all for a V6

Bone stock under the hood. I went against Devons stage 2 SS with catback and other mods and gave him the jump at 30mph and by the top of his 3rd gear I had 2 cars on him.

Oh hush! Everyone is "anti street racing" until they finally do it! It's like a guilty pleasure you want to tell everyone but you know they'll ridicule you even though they do the saaaaaaame thing!

Yeah, but iirc, ole Jack used to TEAR PEOPLE APART for doing it. There were GIANT threads with lots and lots of arguing and fighting for and against.

He was for sure the leader of the opposition. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd find some examples. There is a difference between saying, "Man, that is dumb" then trying it and loving it... and some of the things that were said back then. Just saying.

Its a good kill, none the less.

yes sir, the new 2010 Taurus SHO is packing Fords new 6cylinder Twin Turbo EcoBoost engine. A very well designed engine, with modifications and WEIGHT LOSS it would be a good contender on the street or on the track. If I had money I would get the new 2010 Taurus SHO hands down, AWD for winter and launching, EcoBoost for MPG, and with some tuning adjustments and some bolt-on's this car will likely see 400-500whp.

after they put the 5.0L back in the GT mustang you will take that back, within the next 2-3 years tops Ford will have the 5.0L in the GT and the V6 EcoBoost in the Base model, thus vaporizing the competition entirely......It will be a whole new ball game
