Default wow. one fast MF: taurus SHO 'handily' beat the a4...

too bad it was the 'jelly bean' style, otherwise he at least would've LOOKED good beating me

obviously, mine's stock.

it's been awile since i've been in one, but i think the older style ones looked sweet.

Default my buddy has quite a few mods on his '95

runs low 14's w/ a 55 shot. I'd show him up on a road course though.

Default now 95...that was the last of the old style, right?

and you're right, once we got into the freeway ramps, the taurus roots eventually came out and spoiled his fun.

oh, great machine for snow, too. i've seen more traction out of freshly waxed downhill skiis than this car could muster.

Default those mid 90s SHO's arent bad on a road track,,,,, throw

some r compound tires on and some stiffer struts and they move if you know how to drive 'em.

I had a '91 before the Audi. What a sweet car it was (for a Ford!)

Default If it was the egg shaped SHO, it was an auto tranny...

...would have been close if you were chipped.
