I agree 100% i thought that with all the recent ass kickings ford has been handing out lately they would have thought of that...Im so proud to be a ford fan with these new engines lol
Wonder why they didn't have a higher top speed faceplate...If the car is stock, then they should've atleast had it set at 160 on the speedo...oh well. Nice ride man!
Not a Ford fan. I'm a Chevy guy but I'm not one of those Chevy guys that foams at the mouth and talks shit on Fords. With that said, I always liked the Taurus SHO line. Very happy they brought it back a few years ago. The Taurus is a great car (Dad had a 2004 Taurus SES) and now with the addition of EcoBoost, Ford is really doing their shit really well right now. I'm a Chevy guy, but props must be given to Ford. I mean they are getting it DONE right now.
@KKFan9 you should just change to a FORD guy, haha. Ford is doing better than chevy in every way right now. the 2013 shelby is going to have 650HP and the super snake will have 800. I think they are about to beat the corvette.
I love the new taurus lineup that ford has come out with, much nicer than the POS outdated as hell impala. The Taurus sho is a perfect luxury car and if you ever need to be a tad bit faster then you can slap a cai, tbe, and tune and there ya go. Gotta love the new ecoboost engines
@AlexanderRozhenko well i remember hearing that the guy who built the original came back and saw what they where doing and told them to completly redo it and he directed em and this was the after math and bt im a chevy guy and i love eco boost
save your money and get full length headers it will make huge difference being that you have two turbos. im waiting for 2012 sho keep pressn that gas bro
@lmorrow4 Unreasonable freakout?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! lol. You can't say that Ford is not using what they learned from the design that they and Mazda built called the Duratec engine to influence what they thought of in this new package. Yes, it's Ford's own twin turbo three and a half liter 6, but until Mazda got in on the game and started assisting designing engines for Ford to use in the Taurus, Contour, Ranger and other platform clones, they would have turned out a completely different engine setup
@lmorrow4 - I've worked for Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, GM, yada yada yada, and as times have progressed, the difference in design in vehicle engines and management systems have started bridging a gap, almost to a point there are no special differences in the design of the drivetrain, spare different parts, that make one platform discernable from another. Look @ a 2.4 DOHC I4. I actually give Ford quite a large amount of props for designing and manufacturing such a well built and unique engine design.
This engine is not unique though, it's a plain old ecoboost, which is used in a bunch of other cars.
The SHO had a heart of it's own, it's own legacy and personality, due to it's unique, dual intake engine, custom body stylings, it's mind blowing speed and power(1989 mind you) and it's cool factor.
This is just slapping a common engine, and some stickers on a car.
@cmaxO123 Where are you getting "plain old Ecoboost" from?? The SHO was the first model to use the "plain old Ecoboost" and the other models borrow it from them. Its true the original SHOs were unique in their powertrains but this one would chew up and spit out any of its predicessors. The only reason you MIGHT be able to say common engine is because the Ecoboost formula will be used widely to increase efficiency and fuel mileage, something the goverment has mandated.
@35speedracer1 Um...just FYI, the new Fusion is built on the same platform as the Mazda6, which, in V6 trim, will do 60 in 6.2 seconds....So...that's pretty much right there with the fastest V6 models from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and several others....
@lmorrow4 The platforms are similar, not the the same. And his comment was about acceleration which the two have completely different engines and tuning .
@pjbadgersuw26 Dude stop being a puss, its the same damn engine. .2L of displacement makes it a different engine!? Really? Ford builds it, it makes the same HP within like 7.
@lmorrow4 uh yea it does. its not only the displacement, it's some of the parts and tuning as well. So since the mazda 6 and 11' v6 mustang both use the duratec 37 that means they have the same engine right? And if you go by what the guy was saying, that since they both come from the same engine family and have they same block they should have the same performance and the mazda 6 should run 13's 1/4 miles right? No. Why? Because its the same block with different parts and tuning.
@hardyea Yes and no. 19.6mpg was her average but not the actually mpg at those speeds. Once you increase your speed, if you want actual mpgs, you must change your gauge settings to read so. If this actual, alot of other motorist would probably be travelling much faster without any regards to fuel economy.
@4MATICbenz now compare that to a 2010 FPV FG Falcon F6310 doing the same thing, SHO wont look nearly as good as our Aussie powered Falcon long live the I6 Turbo's..death to the POS Taurus
@GreendragonDMX1 I do like the new Taurus, it's quite a step ahead of the usual fodder we get here in the States, but you Aussies always get the coolest cars. I'm so jealous.
Too bad it's stock, get some delta 40 flowmasters and that engine will PURR.
