Taurus Rice??

[NorMich99SE]

Walking through the shop last Saturday, I saw this up on a hoist and thought some of you may find it amusing at least.

Could it be a SHO? It has the spoiler...

Oh no, upon closer inspection it's the ultra rare Taurus SVT!!

I thought it was funny anyway...especially when I had my SVT parked just a few feet away on the other side of the lane, lol.

If I owned an SHO I would put an SE bumper on it. It would be one sweet sleeper.

That is odd though. SVT...LOL

Probably just a Taurus ricer. They all hang out on TCCA, modding 140hp vulcan engines. We don't have people like that on Shoforum.

All it has is the SHO spoiler, everything else is standard Taurus LX (save for the tacky SVT badges).

I would have ripped them off

why would you wreck a SHO like that? :nonono:

Well its not like I would throw the bumper away.

I would do it just so it is that. A sleeper. Fricken V8? Sweet. People would think its just an SE then. Then they would end up gettin smoked.:laugh:

 

[shoteen95]

Don't even bother. 99% of the people on the road don't even know what a SHO is.

The V8's do sound crazy with aftermarket mufflers though. Or no mufflers at all.

thats true ... why would you do that to a taurus?:nonono:

 

[SVTJON87]

my buddys got his vulcan that we call Boris. its shaved but i want him to rebadge it baurus. but its his DD

 

[ryanblacksvt]

OMG I hate it when people put SVT badges on a non svt vehicle.

 

[TRicker]

i can't wait to get my SHO! Big bores butterflies, SHOSHOP y pipe, centerforce clutch, new trans, shoshop flywheel, K&N intake, Cobra R wheels......wooooo!

Ricer :nonono:

The Taurus SHO has a dual exhaust,so it is just a regular Taurus...

 

[RandyCSVT]

regular taurus' also had dual exhaust. I used to own a 98 Taurus with a 3.0L duratec, and it had dual exhaust.

 

[petar_velichkov]

Yes,but the SHO's pipes are outside the bumper...like the SVT Contours

 

[shoteen95]

Yes,but the SHO's pipes are outside the bumper...like the SVT Contours

and they have shiny oval tips, the duratecs just turned down. Not to mention all the black that's part of a SLO's tail lights are body colored on a SHO.

 

[loggerbomb]

Spoiler looks like crap to me.

No clue why anyone would waste their time sticking that SVT emblem on a Taurus!

i agree: everyone and their mother tries to race me in the csvt but in the last two years ive had my sho, ive only been taunted a handful of times and its never been straight from a red light, usually on the interstate where they can see the whole rear of the car and get a general idea. no one really notices the v8 tags on the front fenders

 

[elraido]

I have only been enticed to race in my SVT once...the SE zero times. There was a Ranger I saw the other day with SVT slapped all over it. Looked like a pile to me.

If you really want to smoke them, the '89-'95 SHO is the way to go. That six with the 5-speed will blow the doors off the Gen III '96-'99 SHOs. What a great car. I had a green on mocha that I'll never forget.

I agree, I've driven the V8 SHO, it was more comfortable and quieter than my Old School SHO, but slower accelerating (partially from ATX). With my '91, Drop into 3rd gear at 70, hit it, flies:shocked: I did like the V8's sound!
