Don't make fun

[muffinman2002]

I know its not a supercar, but it is my first car and it hasn't dissapointed me one bit. Its more than just a normal taurus. For those of you not familiar with the taurus SHO it was a performance addition of the taurus. The main difference b/w a normal taurus and a SHO is the engine. The engine was designed and built by yamaha for use by ford. Its a dohc design and makes a respectable 220 bhp. So anyways heres some pics of my 92.

Dont see why we should laugh .... its a nice car , and the SHO variant is very powerfull , i actually like a lot that car

[TT]

We don't laugh at "average" cars :D most of us anyway drive one of them or simply don't have a car :D we only laugh at bullshitters :D

We had SHO's for years...from when they came out on the body style previous to yours all the way through the last (I believe it was a 98 V8 Auto) in the body style that succeeded yours. My family loved them hehe, do you have the 5 speed or the slushbox? (we're a bit hooked on manuals)

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Nice decent ride, looks reliable, did you have any problems with it?

[muffinman2002]

Yeah its the 5 speed. Have never had any problems with it yet. Some people say its unreliable but nothing seriously wrong has happened to it yet. Only thing that may be a problem with it in the future is that many of the parts are being dicontinued by ford and are becoming harder and more expensive to find.

Looks good to me!

220bhp is a lot in anyones book! :shock:

[muffinman2002]

Thanks for all the positive comments. Seems like a really friendly forum you guys have going here. Oh and here's a picture of the engine, you should hear this baby scream when the secondary runners open up after 4000 rpm.

It is quite a nice engine, the only real problem is that it's in a Taurus chassis (kind of soft even with the firmed up suspension)...imagine what it would be like in something a bit smaller and rear drive :-)

no need for laughin man !!! heres a place to talk bout cars, not who has the most expensive n make fun of the ones who cant or dont want or whatever, u should be proud of the car u have n like that ull start gettin more, not bein ashamed of it

btw... i didnt know that car but must perform well

g luck

At least you didn't come in here thinking your car was the stuff. I'm tired of all my dorky friends that have honda civics that think they can beat Porsches. You appreciate the car for the right reason, it's a reliable, livable car.

220bhp, fuckin nice!!
