I'm thinking about buying a Taurus sometime in t he next few months and wondering who makes stuff for them. I think a Taurus would make a pretty cool sleeper. I know the best way to make one fast is to buy a SHO but I don't have $35,000 chilling in my pocket. 2000 Ford Contour SE 2.0L Zetec ATX Removed Air Silencer Added Side MArkers Removed Door Ding Guards ----------------------------------- 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L EFI AODE Nothing Yet......... ----------------------------------- 1989 Plymouth Sundance 2.5L A/T A whole slew of aftermarket stuff but mainly engine work. The list is really long so I decided to save us some bandwidth by taking it out! ----------------------------------- 1987 Subaru XT GL10 AWD Turbo Removed half the interior in my never ending quest to find the fuel pump relay so I can fix it!!!!

Those are the SHO's to have. 220HP 3.0 Yamaha v6 with lots of torque. Otherwise stick with the SVT. It is similar in "theme" to the old 90's SHO's by its manual transmission v6 and four doors. warmonger You can call me anything you like as long as it's nice.(all lies accepted) 99 Silver Frost SVT. #226 of 2760 Engine: 3.0 power! Unique Stuff: Sunroof control module (#1 of 9) Car Audio: Loaded and loud! Check them out at http://home.earthlink.net/~twilson1726
