What are they supposed to run? We have one at work, but I haven't drove it. I sat in it, but it is way too small for me. I will take it for a spin someday, but I hate a vehicle I don't fit in.

I use to have a 1999 SHO way back along time ago, at WOT very strong V8 roar....but the view out the windshield didn't match. All SHO and no go.

The new models do look fairly quick on YouTube.

Yeah. I am not a huge Ford guy, but it is the new Taurus. It isn't the turbo model according to other people. (Not sure if it would still be a SHO) my left shoulder is against the door pillar, and my head almost hits the ceiling. I look through the top of the windshield. I would have to crouch way forward to see a stoplight. I sat in it, and said no way in hell.

The old SHOs were slow as dog ****. They had a high top speed but they were 14+ in the 1320. The new SHO is a differant animal from what I have seen. The Eco Boost makes great power low and high, I think I have seen one slightly modified running 12s?
