The 6th gen SHO is a ridiculously awesome car. Serious sleeper energy and super comfortable. With about 1500 dollars worth of simple modification and a tune, you you can easily make over 400 AWHP. Tune it on an E30 mix with the same mods + injectors and a fuel, you will be closer to 500 on the stock turbos. That is an insane amount of power in that car. Mine is sitting at about 430 HP and 400 Ft Lbs. Even that feels ridiculous. I have never had so much fun in a daily driver.

It came loaded heated leather seats, sunroof, blind spot monitor (might be after market), a trunk which can fit a whole family and of course the 3.5L V6 (no turbo bs here). Me and my fiancé drove this car out to San Jose from Seattle - a 13-14 hour drive. It handled it like a champ. It was actually quite a pleasure driving this car on the highway.

Bought a gold 2000 Taurus Wagon around 2008 when I worked for the US Postal Service. I didn't get an LLV and needed something with a bench seat so I could sit in the middle, drive with my left hand/foot and put mail out the right. It rode amazing with grand touring tires, was quiet, reasonable on gas, and served me faithfully. Some of these cars had garbage transmissions; I had to replace a few sensors but it was cheap and easy to work on. I left the USPS and sold the car to some neighbors who gifted it to their granddaughter. It survived two teenage girls learning to drive and college; I saw it around town until I moved away and it had zero rust and the paint was still glossy. The horrid jelly bean design of the 3rd gen permanently gave Accord and Camry the mid-sized sedan segment despite 4th and 5th gens being very good cars.

Y'all should do an Up To Speed on the history of Formula 1. Starting with cars built from plane fuselages hell yea!!

[@Amir-ft4hz]

Donut can't because F1 is tight on what pictures/videos can be displayed. Too much of a hassle to do if it gets claimed by F1

Dude You are hilarious.... ! I am a total Ford Guy... I want a Interceptor SHO

[@MoistChungus]

Trust me you don't want an interceptor, just get the civilian sho, it's comfier more reliable and better in every way

[@zachyoung2002]

dont do interceptors with high miles, cops idle for hours and hours and that wears it down super fast.

[@Juwulrythief]

Got my '92 Taurus from my grandparents, makes me so glad that I have something so close to the original. Still want a SHO though...

[@adrianleon1731]

Do the Volvo R/T5 Cars! (Volvo 850s, S/V/C70, and S60 And V70)

[@iLuckySpark]

So glad you covered the Taurus! I own a 2005 Taurus SEL and it’s just amazing. c:

[@ganjasage420]

Love my taurus. It's the 03 SES model, 3.0L V6 Vulcan. I've pushed it to 110mph, and drive it like I stole it. 3k is what it loves to "get up and go" from what it's capable of. Not fast by any means, but comfortable as hell to drive. I do long drives at times, and never a problem getting out hours later. Gas wise, well I drive like a madman, so not the best, but give or take from full to 1/4 tank in 220ish miles. I've been told to get rid of it, but I can't. It was given to me by grandma before she passed, so it has sentimental value too. Also, as a basshead, subs sound great in the cabin. It honestly is a good little car, not fancy, not powerful or super speedy, but overall well rounded enough to enjoy. And I'd like to make it into a sleeper one day just because 😂, it'd be great to see peoples reaction after they expected it to be just a granny mobile.

God dame it This is everything I need to know to get up to speed on... Lexus SC Jaguar XJ

Jaguar in general

[@henryjohnson1126]

I own a 4th gen taurus, 800$ 86k miles. It’s not pretty fast or quiet but it’s done me well and I firmly believe this generation and previous are one of fords most reliable sedans.

Yo James, we miss the jokes about Jessica 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@pvsho94]

DDDOOOONNNNUUUTTT. 93-95 auto SHO had a 3.2 V6. The 96-99 had a 3.4 V8

[@pvsho94]

You are correct sir

[@patrickkerce2060]

1989-1995 were the Yamaha 3.0/3.2 V6. Had a 92 and 95.

[@skylerbowerbank5847]

The 89 sho is still my favorite

[@PatrickAntiArrhythmicKerce]

@@skylerbowerbank5847 It had larger sway bars, and a closer ratio steering rack. Had both of those on my 95 as upgrades.

[@-zedx]

My 2014 Taurus SEL limited was a hell of a buy and would definitely recommend to anyone buying they’re second or third car

[@dannyjr7997]

I still remember seeing a green SHO with manual trans beat a WRX at the drag strip.

[@braddaechsel1268]

Still waiting on lincoln, but this is still great video. Loove the taurus

[@insulterify]

fun fact the ford taurus/x (5th and 6th gen), ford freestyle, ford 500, ford edge, 5th gen explorer, ford flex, lincoln mks, lincoln mkt, mercury montego and mercury sable all use the same platform beyond 2008 and share much of their suspension and drivetrain design elements, if you know how to work on one you pretty much know how to work on all the others.

[@quikscopez102]

I love this episode so much! But I think we’re all waiting for the real king of under appreciated Fords... the Ford Focus

[@2ValveMiri]

the new taurus sho should have had at least a 5.0 option.

[@El_Cacto]

that would have killed the Mustang

[@2ValveMiri]

@@El_Cacto what about a 4.6 engine?

[@Vinnay94]

There is the Ford Falcon here in Australia that came with a 5.0 variant called the Miami.

[@D-syncMonopoly]

I just bought a 2010 Ford Taurus SEL with 230k miles on it for 4k love the hell out of it and it’s still running like day one

[@wvusmc]

I awaited anxiously for a ROBOCOP clip. The Taurus was no SUX 6000, though.

[@DoomFinger511]

I'd buy that for a dollar

Thanks for this video guys! I love my Taurus SHO!

I remember my Dad's 1991 Ford Taurus, the thing was a BEAST with its essex engine and survived all the way till 2006. RIP my dear friend 😢

Cobalt ss (turbo / supercharged/2.4L) next guys would be 👌🏽

Probably the most underrated quick car. People just immediately wrote it off as Chevy tuner crap. I would love to get a turbo with the no left shift. When they come down 2500.

Love these almost got one but got a grand prize gt instead used to race my buddy's cobalt as so fun
