The V8 Taurus SHO is a Perfect Example of Why We Cant Have Nice Things

This was the FWD king of the streets back in the day, but sadly like all good things, it came to an end too quickly.

but in the right hands, the v8 taurus sho puts bigger v8s to shame!

make sure you guys follow me on instagram @Mr Random Reviews..LONG LIVE THE SLEEPERS!

Even for late 90's 235 HP from a v8 was just adequate though being only 3.4 liters makes it acceptable. Now imagine if it had the previous gen's V6 manual combo.

If memory serves me correctly, Yamaha sent the 3.0 V6 motor to Ford with around 320 horsepower. Ford then detuned it so it wouldn't beat the Mustang at the time.

2:05 when you stutter and need to cough at the same time

“In a world where fewer and fewer sleepers are being made” completely agree with that line. Far too many generic transportation appliances on the road today.

I heard that thing take off after you said it has an Achilles
I immediately thought "transmission"

[thmqpgap]

I had no idea there was such thing as a V8 Taurus lol, you learn something new everyday

I straight up didn’t know there was a beast version of my grandmother’s car

[xenongames]

What is this a counterfeit Regular car reviews ? 😂😂

[robj]

I remember this car, was impressed with it. Speaking of sleepers, I feel asleep 4 times during this video, and I'm not even tired.

[LeeePowers]

And Ford being Ford, this is what they gave us instead of the (Australian) Ford Falcon GT of similar vintage.
But, whatever.

If only todays new SHO's were V8's. Itd be LEGENDARY

I've had my 99 SHO for 20yrs. I love it. Great road car. Definitely not a slug....

[scottstrang]

I had one and fixed the cam issues and sold after I put 180k on it. The original transmission needed some work (cleaned valve body if I remember correctly) but NOT replaced and held up. It was not as fast as my gen 1 or gen 2 sho (IMO) it was a great car and super comfortable to drive . They also sounded very cool! Very small V8 @3.4 liters too .

[Myplague]

You forgot about the rampant transmission failures 😥 R.I.P. V8 SHOs you will be missed when you're gone

[encinobalboa]

I saw one at the junkyard. It was a work of art. Engine presentation was gorgeous. Interior felt special. Too had about the motor issues. That motor in an RWD S2000 would have been a world beater.

One of the most underrated Ford Taurus ever built.

[MRRVADrums]

My cousin had one and that thing hauled so much tail. He passed away several years ago from a life long illness of cystic fibrosis. A terrible disease. God rest his soul. 👏🏻

Weld the cam sprockets...I did..Yea it was fast..shifted at 7200 rpm
