Would be great to hear what that EcoBoost sounds like on the dyno, Torrie!

I totally understand how easy it is to peg the stock fuel system on this car. :wink:wink:wink

Got my dad a regular Taurus today. We were actually going in to get an Edge (good too) but we were so impressed with this car he just had to have it. While the SHO will appeal to nutty guys like us, Fords bread and butter will come from these "regular" cars.
BTW, the paddle shifter works like a dream. I can only imagine how cool the SHO is??? People-- No need to look at a foreign car anymore.

Manny this car is miles ahead of what any remembers the Taurus of the past as being. I love mine and enjoy hearing about other people that get that fact about the new car.

You can road test my SHO anytime buddy !

While I never leave the Yamaha V6 behind, I will own a 2010+ SHO soon enough. Very impressive car.

Torrie this is amazing I can see a whole new SHO cult starting up.

Modders get to work.

I agree, this car could be the next "cult classic".

Nice vid! Shifts sound very crisp! Have you had it to the strip again? What were you able to run stock?
