CTS-V vs. Taurus SHO (turbo)
This 90' SHO is a beast, but like the video said, I'd still rather have the Cadilac CTS-V.

That was cool! That SHO has a mean sound to it, and very unique sound when he lifts off the throttle. Thanks!

Having driven the Caddie - It seems that the driver doesn't know his car well enough.
He seems to have been either to far down the rev range at the drop - or in too high a gear.
That 40mph hit should have had the car (the Caddie) lurching forward when he gassed it. I know I was able to get that kind of response from it when I beat it like an Iraqi prisoner during my test drive...

hahah cool video, i like seeing oddball combos like a turbo sho lol
seemed very quick, i love turbos lol
the sho was always kinda a odd car, but cool, and i like the ending statement
i wonder if the hp numbers stated where on low or high boost, i would assume high...

That SHO is a beast!! My buddy once raced one with his '85 Buick Regal with a 455 engine, my buddy got smoked.
They should make an SHO version of the new Ford 500, or at least a monster SVT version.

Does anyone know if that was the yamaha topend or the ford topend you could get either one during certain years, but the yamaha had more valves and appeared to handle air flow alot better, cool vid either way.

It almost may be worth getting the SHO over the CTS-V when you see how fast it pulls going 40mph @12psi.
It made the caddy look as though it was standing still.
