1994 Taurus SHO 0-90 pull

[BiggEakaEWord]

Have a 93 ATX. Used to love hearing the secondaries open up. I could even feel it pull harder. Always, wanted a MTX tho. Especially after my tranny blew. Car's been sitting for almost 5 years. The one time I had the money 2 fix it I just bought another cheap car instead. Never could bring myself 2 sell it. I'd LUV 2 do a MTX swap.

Вот так АКПП и убивают на Таурусах

@lHustonProductionsl Haha very well said, 100% agree the only ones worth the "muscle," car moniker are cobras and boss 302's as of late.

[stormshockin]

@lHustonProductionsl OMG someone actually understands!!! Holly shit.

Muskrats are too small for men and poor handling to boot! Want a real car? Get the Muscle! Comaro Hands down!

[Cscholl1982]

OK To kinda answer the guy asking for cheap upgrades with a 1994 SHO, auto trans... Sell it!! The dammed things go through them light weight junk transmissions left and right. Get a standard shift one!!! And as far as Cheap, sure you can put a K&N filter in it but beyond that there no such thing as really cheap about building these things.

[drgonzo767]

@itsgnikcufllihb Uh, the SHO had a better 1/4 time than the Stang that year. I mean, you can look it up...

[Russian601]

beautiful bass engine sound :)

[DarkGemini1979]

@itsgnikcufllihb Unless the car is chipped, secondaries open at 3950. I have videos in my account to further that point if you need proof.

[Teesquared00]

You need to learn how to shift. Poor gearbox.

[kegmaj]

I wanna cry when I see other people driving a SHO :(

[Skomega77]

Hey I just got a 1994 taurus srs, any sugestions for cheaper performance upgrades? its an automatic so nothing involving clutches.

[EpicNova]

@Skomega77

sell it and buy a mustang!

[imserious2187]

@EpicNova lol

[wtl1964]

@EpicNova so why down grade to a more pos ford

[mflores910]

@EpicNova nothing like punching a guy in the stomach. sad, but I agree. mustangs are cheap these days and come with a lot of fun!

[n8bolton]

@EpicNova this is cooler than a Mustang, of the period. far less common and more versatile. and i LOVE Mustangs

[jordtizzle]

@Skomega77 not an srs, srs stands for safety restraint system which is why u see that.

[Skomega77]

@jordtizzle Ya it says GL on it to.

[jordtizzle]

@Skomega77 ok then it is a gl

[shokid]

@Skomega77 You mean sho? I think srs is an airbag.

[fordman500]

@Skomega77 srs??? Thats the airbag....Supplemental Restraint System

[mystiqueman366]

for anyine wanting to know what the secondaries sound like, they opened up just before 0:07 in this video

[doug2bitemore]

A very good technical launch, very nice.

[Benwilliston]

nice pants do they come in mens

[123cocojojo]

@Benwilliston lol

[ProFessionaI09]

NEEED FOR SPEED lol!!!

[macksun]

sometimes i miss my 93 mtx (black exterior) SHO. Very rare color cuz they normally come in either red, blue or white. Ppl used to ask me if i was selling it. I wish I woulda instead getting a measly $500 trade off value. But I had to do it.. only had it a year and a 1/2. bout it for $1500...year lata put $5000 in it just to keep it runnin. So fuk it

[GeekSHO]

Right at the 7 second mark you can hear the secondary intake runners open up. The sound they make NEVER gets old. I can just cruise on the freeway in third all day, running between 50 and 60 mph just to listed to that effect. (it switches right around 55 mph)

[skeegle]

woah I just noticed that after reading your post. That is one hearty sound for sure =)

[chrisparker2006]

fuel injected cars dont have secondary jets dipshit and a 16 second 0-60 after modifications is not a nice car my five second CORVETTE , now thats a nice car

once again F.O.R.D. = FUCKIN OWNERS REALLY DUMB!

[DarkGemini1979]

Secondary jets? No, they don't.

The SHO V6, however, does have secondary intake runners that open above 3950RPM. The upwards shift of the power band is accompanied by a noticeable change in the intake note.

I'll leave the witty Chevrolet acronym to someone else...

[VitaminE6SS]

@DarkGemini1979 Most people are not aware or the secondairy intake runners, only other car i've seen with them is the sentra ser.. I think it sounds great on the sho

[ROFLmao35216]

@VitaminE6SS

The V6 Ford Contour had them as well. With newer tech like variable valve lift and timing... Not really needed.

[drgonzo767]

@ROFLmao35216 That's why I bought a Contour SE V6 manual in 1995 when it came out...I liked the smaller size and the way it "came on power" reminded me of the SHO.

[ROFLmao35216]

@drgonzo767

That was a fantastic car. I drove mine into the ground... Too bad the wiring harness on that model is prone to failing a few years on.

[svtlincoln]

@VitaminE6SS The Lincoln Mark VIII had them from 93-98 on the DOHC 4.6

[g20s10silveradoman]

@svtlincoln so diddnt the lincoln continental 95-02

[RushSampson]

For one thing.

I can't think of the most raggedy-assed paint-faded rot hole Taurus SHO that can't make 0-60 under 16 seconds. That's ludicrous. My Chevette ran numbers like that.

And another, you're comparing a relatively common daily driver Ford, to a flagship Chevrolet that costs several thousand more dollars to buy and own.

[BJtheBassist]

@RushSampson

My rusty, paint faded 89 could get to 60 in 6 seconds... BEAST! (I need plug wires and a CID however, now...)

[workensmart]

LOL you can hear the secondarys open in first gear. nice car.

[DonGuido36]

Sounds like my taurus when i gun it,rrrrreet teet teet teet teet

[Tailspin07]

You grip the steeringwheel like an A-HOLE. Hold it correctly before you kill someone.

[1992Formula]

My hands could be made of ham hocks and I could still outdrive you, so do me a favor and keep your useless comments to yourself.

[alscort93]

Cool to find a 93-95 with a 5 speed. I love my 92. Especially driving through traffic, no one expects a Taurus to fly right around them ;)

[zac41189]

gen 2 SHOs were the best in my opintion. i drive a 95 GL now but i'm trying to find a 95 SHO.. and one day i'll have it lol. don't romp on it too hard haha. its too nice.

[Used93]

dude yea you right i have a 95 SHO and had a 89 but Gen 1 and 2 are crazy

[Crazybuickdriver]

i wish mine was a 5 spd, i got do the 60k maintenance on it right now....... :( 130,000mi but o well it was a $250 car kuz the guy couldnt figure out what was wrong with it, im working on picking up another one........

[theFlyingTrumpet]

dude!

i love the sound of this car!

i own a 94 SHO MTX also. mines white and tan interior though

i havnt done and pulls in it yet because the intake manifold is currently off

[pitbull43187]

[zac41189]
