Pretty damned good for only 127hp, it's all about the VTEC..."
Haha, My Taurus SHO can do 0-60 in 6.7.. Get real. Get a V6.
"Depending on your parts, which I didn't look up, you are about $1000 worth of mods on your car and you are doing 8.5? You gotta drive that thing like you mean it."
If I had that much for my Lincoln Town Car I'd be pushing easily about 8.5 sec with a 4,300# car!
It's all about torque off the line, so if you can possibly find it with a 4 cylinder, supercharge or turbo will do just that.

Rep Power: 368 ex 5spd can do 8 sec I believe.
and I think i can do 8 too with a good launch. thats stock too, btw. I/H that I've got doesnt really change anything imo.
better tires did help though. *shrug*
can you imagine those 2-3 second 0-60 supercars?
its like.. okay lets go. 1...2.... o, we're at 60 miles per hour now.
sheesh. insane.

Taurus SHO running 6.7? lol...how many 6.7 runs will u be able to run with that taurus of yours before it needs to be towed to the shop? eh.... and btw 6.7 seconds is nothing to be impressive with 220 hp and 200 lbs of tq to work with. Needing tq off the line to launch? Launch at a more efficient rpm and you'll be right in the powerband after your launch.

i can do the 8th mile with my 2001 ls teg swapped crx in about 8.7 @ 83 mph. all motor without my head work and cams. it weighs about 2000 lbs with me in it, my light rims and a 11 gallons of premium gas. thats about 4.6 seconds 0-60 time according to some site. now i can do it in 4.3-4.4 sec, but i dunno what that is in the 8th mile. thats with all the work done to the head and massive tire spin. havent taken this worked head to the track yet tho.

I avg about 6.7 0-60
That was on a G-Tech meter on the side of the interstate
But according to that internet site posted eariler it should be 6.26 sec.

First of all, I know what kind of power you can and will get out of a motor if you put the money into it. Sounds like some of them are screamin'. It's mostly about the power to weight ratio, My only point with that was that you can build up a V8 in a big car to do just the same. Your comparing non-stock 4 cylinders to the power output of most domestic V8's. I don't know of a 4 cylinder that can put out more than 300 hp N/A, again, I just haven't seen any myself. I do know the cheap side of the domestic V8's, like the one in my Lincoln. 150 hp(ha ha, yeah I know) but a nice 270 lbs of torque to pull 4,500lbs to 0-60 in 10 sec. Fairly well for that little horsepower if you'd ask me.
Secondly, about my SHO. This 6.7 seconds 0-60 was in a 3,380lb car not including me in it, so the 220hp/200tq rating is not bad. This 3.0L can give about 200 lbs of torque from 2,500-7000 because of the 2 stage intake, so there is no need for more "off the line". It is all stock by the way. How many times can I do 6.7 before a tow you ask? I bounce it over redline almost every time I drive! Your interpretation of that was wrong, and I wouldn't take it to a shop being that I don't trust people with these engines. It's running solid at 141,000 miles and I hopes for lots more before my tranny goes..

So sounds like your Focus needs to "focus" a little better because there is a 'stock' slow POS "Tortus" SHO keeping up. What does that tell you about your car?
I say thats all that taurus can push is 220 HP with v6 and the K20A Type R pushes 225 HP stock. So go take your First on recall day car to fords forums and talk about your recalls. BTW the SHO are a POS no wonder why they stoped making them.

ouch I hate when people think that there car is bad a$$. When there is always something faster and better car out there. You can never have the best car. All that matters is that you like your car it doesn't have to be fast. If you like your car because it's just fast you have a problem.

yeah, at least Ford circled the problem..
The K20A Type R pushes 220 HP stock also.
You don't have to lie to kick it.
Lets see
K20A Type R-I4 220 HP reliable
Taurus SHO-V6 220 HP POS ford Did you get that recall ?
Here i'll help you to your Ford Forums.
Does no one like you there cause no one likes you here.

Rep Power: 0 Sorry Jhonda, I meant I'm not that far behind you.
shoforum.com is where the sho is mostly discussed, but I read some of the stuff on here to learn more.
Oh yeah, the only recall that I know of on it was a rear SF mount that could get rusted if exposed to salty roads during winter time.
And lastly before I get anymore **** talking about an Ford SHO which is all you seem to know how to do, it doesn't doesn't have an actual Ford motor in it. If you read the earlier post it has a very reliable Yamaha racing engine, which can indeed live an easy life well into the 200,000s with everyday abuse and racing on weekends, if properly maintained. I think they tested it for 12 hours at 10000rpm or something.. anywho.. seems like it could be just as reliable as the new K20A Type R in a way, and it was made 15 years ago.
