Chris was my dad. Unfortunately he passed in 2017. I’m glad this video is out there. You can hear his excitement and passion. I can only hope someone who would love the car as much as he did ended up with it
I’ve been told 3.5 V6 EB isn’t the strongest in terms of holding more power than stock, so a 5.0 would honestly be a dream come true. Will they do it? I honestly doubt it, such a bitch to make FWD biased 5.0 AWD configuration. Anyone heard of info on ecoboost contrary to my claims?
Love these first generation sho wheels. The flower style on the new sho don't fit the style of the frame. But anything is better than 22in chrome rims on these car's. Just my opinion. And I'm sticking to it🔥🔥🔥
before I buy, is it possible to transfer over the components from a SHO to and SE? I found a wrecked sho with the transmission and engine and suspension still good everything else screwed for really really cheap, and a donor SE for 2.5k
What a gorgeous car! Would love to own one, one day. We don't have them in Europe.. shame. I don't like how it sounds btw.. Most Ford V6 sound this "lazy",, It had this ricer sound.. No offence. :) If you listen to sound of a VW VR6/V6 or a BMW 6 cylinder they really scream! The Ford V6's have a low nois.. a darker tone.
Alex, the gauge pod is custom made actually by the owner of this vehicle. As far as the grille I'm not too sure, I'd be sure to join the ecoboostforums and ask for both, good luck!
Grills where originally done by Mobsteel, they sold molds to tommy z designs. They don't show on there site but I know several guys that have purchase from them. The gauge pod is personally built and designed by myself for more info email me at crash712us@att.net.
Hi, Gotta say love your Videos big fan! Anyway, I make compilation videos where I take clips from other videos add some information and then play music over them. I was just wondering if I could have your permission to use 20 seconds max of this video. Obviously, the link will be in the description and all credit will be rewarded to you.
+TofuProductionCinema so question, i just got a 2015 sho! why does the speedoeter only mark 140??? like wtf oO hah, the ford edge sport has 160, even a VW CC 2011 has 180!! i dont get it, whats the deal on that?
+Imran VP SHO badge is from any dealer, I believe the grill can now be bought here: billet-grilles.com/ford-taurus-shosel-custom-mesh-grille-all-black-p-5373.html
+tommy lucania I actually grown to like this car. I'm thinking of swapping my challenger 392, but the SHO only has a 60,000 mile powertrain vs a 100,000 that I have. can you just swap out turbos or do you have to do other things first? If I do swap, what are the best lowering springs to buy?
HR Springs and from what i have heard, just a turbo upgrade should do. Livernois stage4+ program with plugs, therm 160, intake, and 3 bar map will make the sho unstoppable.
Matthew Curry Yea you win on that one :p That will never happen. It really was a frankenstein car from the start. It worked though. Sometimes side project cars that the engineers play with can turn out to be the best ones. For the record: The automatic transmission in the SHO Gen 2 was crap (never failed...). I owned one of those, and it took FOREVER to shift through the gears. And the overdrive gear wouldn't engage until the engine was warmed up...
No offense, I have a 2010, but that exhaust sounds like a 4-cyl. I don't think it's an improvement over stock. Beautiful car though and nice work on the mods.
The camera quality wasn't too good here, hearing it in person is a whole different story, very deep, with not a lot of drone. Definitely not like a four cylinder.
Anybody can let me know where to get that grill and lower grill and panels id appreciate it very much!! Read a few comments, but didnt lead anywhere. Would love to know. Thank you.
The state boys in Michigan are much harder on enforcing the tint law. Remember that this law varies from state to state. You're not better than him for having darker tint either...I'll be this car spanks whatever you drive.
i drive the same car im just saying i like the darker tint on my SHO better and yeah his is faster..so what it was a joke..dont get your panties in a bunch
viperkill3 yeah im not allowed to have my front windows tinted up here in alberta canada but yeah im planing to put 5-15 in the back window and rear side ones.
I would rip the automatic transmission out of it and put in a 6 speed manual race transmission. I would change the turbo to a supercharger. I would make the plastic panels thinner to lighten the car. Thin race tire's with thin wheels and spokes, brembo brakes, rip the seats out besides the front seats which would be race seats with race harnesses the engine would be a 450 big block v8 with the supercharger and a hood vent. I would lower the car for sure, and put a exhaust system in it and the car would be AWD. That would be a cool Ford Taurus, I would drive it if it had all of that.
Comparing apples to oranges. What you just said is not supposed to be the idea of the Taurus SHO and it will never be that. BTW, the SHO is already AWD.
Chris was my dad. Unfortunately he passed in 2017. I’m glad this video is out there. You can hear his excitement and passion. I can only hope someone who would love the car as much as he did ended up with it
2:42 Wow Ford you've come a long way.
This is the mother of all sleepers. it's so freaking agressive next they need to put a 5.0l option! :)
+Bubba busta I have been throwing around that very idea in my head!
if he didn't add that loud exhaust it would complete the sleeper look
Bubba busta there's no point on a 5.0 when the v6 makes bout the same power
I’ve been told 3.5 V6 EB isn’t the strongest in terms of holding more power than stock, so a 5.0 would honestly be a dream come true. Will they do it? I honestly doubt it, such a bitch to make FWD biased 5.0 AWD configuration. Anyone heard of info on ecoboost contrary to my claims?
@@16webb16 I actually found a video where someone stuffed a 5.0 in a Fusion, so it's totally possible with the Taurus.
very fast car for a big sedan, the sho is an all around excellent car.
that grill! where can I find that beautiful grill?
I believe if you check on the SHOforum, there was a link at one point, unfortunately I do not know off of the top of my head.
Yeah i really want that grill too, I just can't find any black grill for my 2010 SHO
love the aftermarket grill and badge!
southgate in the house lol.... nice ride..
That grill is the way Ford should have done it. Nice 👍🏽
Yes! But if they did that aftermarket manufacturer would be out of a job!😆
What kinds grill is that?
I want that grill so bad
Where did you find the gauge cluster for it?
Yep definitely gonna be trading my 2009 camry on for one of these at the beginning of the year
Eddie The Loan Wolf did you do it!
Thats a nice car. Just wish they offered a 5.0 coyote super charged as a motor option
I work at a Ford and the engine is to smart for Standard so it would need paddles if you wanted manual trans
1:02 my favorite part
Where can I get that grille
Pm Rod Smith on Facebook!
Rod smith is that a page or a person? if a person then from where? would live to get this grille
With that same grill fit on my 2015 SHO?

How much did you spend on after market performance parts? I have a 2011 and kind of want to start doing work
These cars are nice sleepers
Love these first generation sho wheels. The flower style on the new sho don't fit the style of the frame. But anything is better than 22in chrome rims on these car's. Just my opinion. And I'm sticking to it🔥🔥🔥
i swear i saw this car on telegraph the other day, right out by west road lol
Where did you get that grill? I just picked a 2011 SHO up.
Hey guys wondering if anyone has found the grille he has on this car. I know it's an older video and it's been asked a ton but need that grille!!
ruclips.net/video/e-JO5l1cmlY/видео.html
matt nick thats 2013 plus my guy
My father was the owner of this vehicle. He custom made the grill
before I buy, is it possible to transfer over the components from a SHO to and SE? I found a wrecked sho with the transmission and engine and suspension still good everything else screwed for really really cheap, and a donor SE for 2.5k
In this video, do you have downpipes or is it just the corsa exhaust?
Was this straight piped completely? from the headers?
is that a shelby mustang gauge pod?
Where did you get that sho badge on the grill
How much did all the modifications cost for you besides the gfauge thing in the place where the speaker is?
I recognize Eureka Lol but you must know there's always cops there. Does that car have good spots for 3 car seats in the back??
Your in Southgate?
Beautiful ride! #SHO #MichiganStrong
Where can I get that bumper
What Megans coilovers are those??
What a gorgeous car! Would love to own one, one day. We don't have them in Europe.. shame. I don't like how it sounds btw.. Most Ford V6 sound this "lazy",, It had this ricer sound..

How much was spent to modify?
That grill makes it look like a Camry imo in the front the oem grills finished in gloss black woulda been nice but different tastes diff people

Where did you get the front grill?

Nice looking car!

Easy, you use your feet.
Can u send me the links to what has on it
Any numbers? Nice car!
Where did you get that grille and gauge pod?

Sounds like a turbo diesel :(
I want my Gen 1 Taurus SHO back...
yamaha motor and mazda tranny good luck getting that back in a ford lol

You're an idiot. Sounds like a V8.

Andrew Miller Fuck that I would would just drop a GTR drivetrain under it lmao
So why not just get a old impala or Maurader and do that instead of tearing apart a sho? lol
i have a 2014 ford taurus SEL. What kind of upgrades can i put on it?
Check out the ecoboost forums
Tell my guy who owns that car I said what's good light
Plate...
You say it like if the tint gave it 30 to 40 more hp😂😂

Hola buenos dias

Ron I i get that vibe too
Sleeper.
This thing NEEDS 2 step
