TheSanDiegan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I thought they had shitcanned the platform. Something about it just screams Pet Cemetery to me... maybe it's because I can't unsee these fugly dicklings: When I was little, the hater acronym was Found On Road Dead. IMO Ford execs should have left this one dead and buried like the muthaf*cking Tesseract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSanDiegan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Love the sound of that cold start rumble though... kind of reminds me of my buddy's SRT if you first snipped a nut from its sack. What's the F/R split on the AWD? I always thought Audi to be poserish for skewing their drivetrain something like 70/30 FWD/RWD (for liability reasons). IMO, if you're going to spring for 4-door American muscle, then you're missing two cylinders with this generic Fat Cartman of a go kart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lester_in_reno Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I think its fine but where I live having AWD is practically mandatory. Snow with hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, this car, stock without any mods, will smoke most anything off the line... The AWD puts down some insane torque very fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspoke Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I had a friend that had one of those back in High school(late 90's). It had some power. Way too much for dumb high school kids. So I have a soft spot for SHO's so I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have to agree with Sandiegoian, never really likes Taurus's styling. I've driven AWD cars most of my life and feel there are nicer options out there depending on price range. Had a buddy with sho in HS too (older model obviously) and I had an AWD 3000gt turbo, had fun racing each other but it never was really close.

NWRebel Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It won't be long before the Ford sedan is history. edit: they are keeping Mustangs and a Focus crossover what ever the +++++ that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get a semi every time the Audi World Challenge team cars would launch off the line during the F1-style Christmas-tree starts in the now-defunct WCS. Back to the Taurine SHO... it has almost 1,000 lbs more sprung weight than an E46 M3 and 500 lbs more than a current gen S4, both which are kinda pig-like on the track. Ha - the more I keep thinking about it, the more I find not to like. Give me an SVT Focus over that 6-cyl shopping cart in the OP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to consider: Ford sponsors not only the Dallas Cowboys, but also, Boise State.... ....Sooo...... Furthermore, I really like the lines.. Rides almost as tall as some SUV's... Giant car..

crixus Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 If you can get a good deal, go for it Jeff. Conan O'Brien bought this Taurus brand new back in 1992, and still drives it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSanDiegan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Man, I talked all sorts of mad shit about this Mormonmobile. Now it's gone. God must really want Jeff to buy this generic looking half-neutered mussel car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
