Man, I don't know who the chic in your sig is but I can't help but stare at her cleavage. :boobies:

I vote SHO!

**VooDooXII** · 09-19-2009, 02:58 AM

I'm blown away by both of them...but for a car for me to own, I get a stick-shift with the Mustang and that V-8 burble.

Ford did really well with the Taurus SHO though.

The old SHO had one of the best looking engine bays ever though. Same can't be said about the new one...hahaha.

Asking about Mustangs on an import dominant forum will get a lot of people that dont know shit from shine-o-la coming out saying dumbass things lol

Id choose the Mustang, but im partial. The SHO barely outperformed the G37S.(stock for stock) The Mustang pulled a .92G on the Skidpad, pretty solid if you ask me.

I voted for Mustang as well (also partial) but you'll probably get people saying a good skidpad is achieved through nothing much but sticky tires.

Solid rears handle better than you probably think, as long as the surface is even, lol.

**On_Her_Face** · 09-21-2009, 12:40 PM

Is the SHO FWD?

All the tests were done on the stock tires that come with the car from the factory.

The SHO is AWD.

o i know,my camaro handled great.....it was different,if u ever got in trouble can just use all the low end TQ.

my camaro was on par with corvettes of the same time period,and murdered mustangs in handling at the time...but ofcourse stang were faster 9/10.

Touche. I wonder if my 08 is on that level. It shouldn't be very far off.

**leobond001** · 09-25-2009, 10:04 AM

the new sho is the best thing ford has ever done since the rs200

**01CDMLUDER** · 09-25-2009, 02:36 PM

The new mustang looks ugly as balls...and I actually like the look of the tarus....Am not a fan of Fords so I wont comment on reliability..haha

I would go with SHO

**VooDooXII** · 09-26-2009, 12:24 AM

I saw the Taurus next to a Fusion at Lennox today...the Taurus is MASSIVE.

Still a nice car though.

**Justin51982** · 09-26-2009, 10:16 AM

Is there third choice for "Other"?

**SEAN** · 09-26-2009, 10:20 AM

I was on a Ford lot in Memphis the other day and the SHO was awesome...they sold the one I was looking at 15 minutes before I hit the lot...it was also the first time I have seen the new Mustang since its redesign...gawd...it was even uglier in person compared to the last few years...they also had an 08 GT 500 with 428 miles for $40K next to the SHO that I couldn't stop taking my eyes off of...the new SHO is much bigger then previous generations and would be my pick!

**BABY J** · 09-26-2009, 11:47 AM

SHO

**VooDooXII** · 09-27-2009, 03:36 AM

Manual transmissions need to not be such a rare commodity.

**A. Tuning** · 09-27-2009, 12:56 PM

S-H-O! All day. I mean, how can you get better than 365hp and 360 ft/pds torque WITH all wheel drive for under $40K in a NEW car? Can't see anyway to.

You said "barely" and you're talking about a car that's almost 50% MORE...LOL. Just find that funny.

I agree. I saw one at Commerce the other day and it was very long and tall. Borderline crossover (adjective).

**oldcorolla** · 09-28-2009, 12:14 AM

Like has already been said SHO because the mustang is too played out. Yes 36X hp and 3XX lb ft of tq with awd would be even better with a manual but , FORD ECOBOOST FTMFW!!

**A. Tuning** · 09-28-2009, 05:28 AM

But no AWD....so the Camaro can get it in a straight line, but methinks the SHO could make some headwaves in the twisties.

**Ziptied** · 10-15-2009, 11:56 AM

SHO, Fuck mustangs.

**psst*

Guess what, if you dont think youll see a lot of Taurii on the road in the near future, you're fooling yourself.

**VooDooXII** · 10-15-2009, 01:03 PM

People don't realize how many Tauruses they see on the road because they're such forgettable cars.

**Outphase** · 10-15-2009, 07:33 PM

Mustang 2010 looks way cool. Would like one.

**Teg Boy** · 10-21-2009, 09:02 PM

im a mustang guy

**91boostdgsr** · 10-28-2009, 02:32 PM

im all for the SHO until i saw the MSRP of it 42k that not including taxes title shipping custom order etc so as far as price not bad for a 4 dr awd twin turbo BEAST that has beaten the Audi R8 in every test according to ford site

**91boostdgsr** · 10-28-2009, 02:33 PM

**One_Bad_SHO** · 10-28-2009, 06:27 PM

SHO vs Chrysler 300C, SHO vs Audi A6... theres been tons of comparisons on the new SHO that are giving it an edge over its opponents. Hell, youtube is full of em. Its impressive for what it is. There will always be those people that say "its still a ford taurus".. you know... the people that dont appreciate a car for what it does, they only judge it by what it is. Thats not a real car ehtusiast.

I look foward to seeing what changes they bring in 2012.

Theres a 2010 SHO running 12's in youtube right now, stock. (with minor tweaks here and there)

**One_Bad_SHO** · 10-28-2009, 06:39 PM

2009 SEMA show is gonna inveil a lot of aftermarket for the new SHO

**iBeboostin** · 10-28-2009, 07:00 PM

I vote tho SHO, because their are lots mustangs and I havent seen a new sho with any aftermarket work done to it yet!

I guess I can say now that Ford was interested in giving me my choice of one of these cars for Bullrun, but it all happened so fast that we didn't have time to go through the bureaucracy o make it happen. Thanks for all of the input and glad this sparked some cool conversations about the cars.

Yeah, but for all the extra power in the SS, it's still almost 3900 lbs. The Mustang is almost 300 lbs lighter and still performs reasonably well against the Camaro. Car and Driver had a pretty good write up between the Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro back in July. Yes the Camaro does out perform it in a straight line, but i'd take a track pack GT over a SS any day.

All that aside, I would chose the SHO over the Mustang, but that's cause i'm a sucker for forced induction. Not to mention that with a good tune, that car would get real fun real quick.
