The reviews on the SHO Taurus are actually pretty good; an AWD twin turbo 3.5 litre V6 is nothing to be ignored. Yeah it's still not up to the standard we are used to with the 4.0 T6 but there'll be another model or two before (and if) the time comes.Add 0.3L and you have the GT-R drivetrain...pretty good methinks...

MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 12y 11m 11d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 29/05/13 03:34 AM Share Posted 29/05/13 03:34 AM does the qaulity and performance even come close to the GTR's though? make it a 4.0 that revs to 8 happily, then that would be some serious fun Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85030-the-end-of-ford-aus/page/16/#findComment-1393612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Donating Members 1,205 Member For: 13y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Burwood, NSW Posted 29/05/13 05:07 PM Share Posted 29/05/13 05:07 PM Some other sign of the zodiac perhaps?Aries... no, Gemini! Hmm on second thoughts...I was thinking more, cancer.As they do in the falcon ute. The reviews on the SHO Taurus are actually pretty good; an AWD twin turbo 3.5 litre V6 is nothing to be ignored. Yeah it's still not up to the standard we are used to with the 4.0 T6 but there'll be another model or two before (and if) the time comes.if this turns out to be the replacement for the falcon then I can not accept it.its bigger, heavier, slower and not as appealing in the visual department.that's some pretty big negatives.how is the Australian market supposed to swallow this as the replacement when they think the current falcon is too big and thirsty?oh I forgot, it has gadgets.so all the mums and dads will buy them in the 10's of thousands now 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85030-the-end-of-ford-aus/page/16/#findComment-1393970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
