lol. That was Ford's figure but if I remember correctly I believe most people that tested it had much better results.

Ford was conservative with the 0-60 times, quoting them based on 2 passengers, a full tank of gas, and I can't recall - but possibly some luggage in the trunk. Surprised they don't test with a boat anchor in tow as well.

What are you talking about that's 0-60 in 7.9 SECONDS MAN!! That's faster than an Escalade on 26s (rims) DAWG!

More impressive than an ATX 168hp Legacy.  And it's about 6.9 BTW.

I liked this line.
Quote:
Until now, Bondurant instructors have piloted second-generation Taurus SHOs (you know, the model just before Ford screwed that car up big time), and even a couple of specially-modified SHO-powered Mercury Sables.
Mostly because it's true, regarding the SHO's.
