Redpill me on the Taurus SHO, /o/
>>17193549
The Taurus SHO was a sleeper built by Ford from 1989 to 1999. 1989-1995 models were offered with a manual. 1993-1995 added an automatic, and 1996-1999 models were automatic only.
It was said to be the best American sport sedan at the time, with a Yamaha-built 3.0L DOHC V6 (manual only). 1993-1995 automatics got a 220 HP 3.2L version with extra torque to help with the power loss through the automatic. 1996-1999 models got a 3.4L V8, still built by Yamaha, and still based on the V6.
They were notoriously fast for the time, often eating V8 Camaros and Mustangs at the drag strips.

In 2008, Fans of the original began pressuring Ford to revive the Taurus SHO.
Ford replied by doing just that in 2010. 2010 to present Taurus SHO's are AWD unlike the FWD original, and is powered by a 3.5L twin turbocharged Ecoboost V6, equipped to a 6 speed automatic.
And the V8 hunting began anew.

turbos and awd is cheating
>>17193549
It's a great car, V6 TT 3.5L Ecoboost, with AWD, making nearly 350hp/tq thereabouts. People have managed to squeeze out over 600hp from them, they are the definition of a sleeper.
I hit biggest pothole in the city going around 35mph now my tire has a bulge just as big as one in my pants... what do? keep driving til it pops? or replace with one i have hanging around, different tread and brand. thx for help

>now my tire has a bulge just as big as one in my pants.
So you're saying your tire is smooth and has no bumps? What's the point of this thread then?
Sure, you keep driving until it pops, what question is this
Pop it like a zit.
The Ford GT: it's like McLaren 675LT, except with less power, more weight, less practicality, more expensive, and with a truck engine.
it's also faster than the 675lt

Cars we wanted when we where kids.
Wanted one ever since i saw it in person at the dealership and was completely stunned as a child.
Still haven't change on wanting one and want it even more after "current year" GT.

kik chat: we'll add you if you show up.
Plan is to meet up in the afternoon and hit up K1 Gokarts, then leave and hit the highway after it dies down. Then pull out at the end of it and have a BBQ, shoot the shit, and then leave from there. As always, you can leave early once you've had your fill of autism.

I need to work on my collection, post em.
these are always handy to have
I drive a Focus ST, wear a beanie hat until I can't handle the heat, and leave my fog lights on most of the time. No vape though.
I'm a vaper, I look like the nu-male stereotype, and I drive a Fiesta ST.

Want to know what bases to pick for my posting preferences. Ontario has been pretty shit so far.

Didn't have too much issue myself. Have something cheap for winter that you don't care about ruining though.

Not even once.

I already went through the process of buying and selling an old shitbox in Ontario, it was fucking hellish. Also, I've moved no less than 3 times in 1 year, and have no way of getting 2 cars around. It's way more convenient for me to drive 1 car and keep rustproofing it the best I can.
