    New SHO = lame, old SHO = nice.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    well duh, I typed it, of course it's my opinion. I just hate automatics, and front wheel drive, a car with both just sucks IMO.

    The Taurus is a large car compared to the STI and EVO.

    I'm glad Ford has brought it back but comparing those is like comparing a Miata to a Mustang Convertible.

    The SHO weights over two tons (4337 lbs) :OMG:

    The new evo and STI tip scales at under 3,500 lbs. In the corners, you'd feel 837+ lbs.

    True but i was comparing them to the 1/4 run. Ya in the turns it would get beat w/ out proper weight reduction and what not.
