If you had the choice of a Mustang or a SHO, which would you choose and why? Let's just say it it would have to center around reliability, comfort and power. Stockish.
poll coming.
Mustang
SHO

Best design and motor for the Taurus yet go SHO!!
I also like the SHO. I MIGHT might have one for a deal I MIGHT have, but I have a choice of Stang or SHO. May or may not happen. So not too excited yet.
i hate both, but if i had to choose mustang

I can't drive an automatic for an only car, so my choice is obvious plus I think the new Gt with the track pack looks awesome.
But, I might get to keep it. Eh either way, they are both pretty cool. Cross your fingers for me. Things like this never work out.
I think the SHO has the engine that the UK Jaguar has. If it does, the gentleman from Top Gear (Jeremy?) Got 700 miles out of the tank. It was equipped with a V-6 Twin turbo. I don't think they have that many designs.
~waits for EJ25run or some1else to correct me~
-Ant.
BTW- SHO > mustang
sho
the shos seem pretty badass. i take that over mustang
I would definitely go with the Mustang over the SHO.
At the end of the day, if you are driving a SHO - you are still driving a Taurus.

I don't want a sedan anytime soon, but I would easily choose the SHO over the Mustang, the new Mustang is just hideous while the previous body style was perfect.
Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...
For what you will be using it for, I definitely say go for the SHO.
SHO, because 1) The Mustang is just played out. To many people them. 2) There's no better felling than leaving some rice cake at the light in a Taurus!

Learning everyday.
But it's still a Taurus - and it looks like a regular Taurus. Unless someone really knows cars, they will think you are driving a $25K Taurus.
Here's some food for thought.
A SHO starts at $37K. To fully load it with the premium package, which includes the steering package, you need to add on another $5700. That means you will have about $43K in a car that will be mistaken for a $25K car.
A GT500 has 500hp compared to the SHO at 365. It costs $46K. Personally, I would spend $3K more and get the GT500. Even with having a shop, it will cost you more than $3K to drag out an additional 135hp.
Another item to consider - do you want to be the guinea pig for the new SHO? Usually, first year cars have the most issues (for any manufacturer), and the risk of it having issues/recalls are higher than the GT500.

If I HAD to leave it stock, SHO. That 365hp 4 door would be plenty of fun.
If I could mod the hail out of it, Mudstain.
SHO! its gonna be one of those cars in the coming years. That motor seems to be pretty solid!
I would personally go with the SHO. Mustangs are a dime a dozen

SHO. Only problem is the automatic tranny....which isnt too big of a deal.

sho. Just because mustangs have been done to death. Time for something new.
My car is factory....
Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
I think the SHO is nice definitely, however, I would rather take the Mustang. I prefer most coupes over sedans, and this is a situation in which that rings true again. Moreoever, comfort, family convenience, quietness and other shit like that ranks fairly low in my consideration.

Although I can sincerely appreciate them Bringing the SHO Taurus back to life. I realistically would not pick it over a mustang simply because it's a big american sedan (something that does not appeal to me).
Although mustangs aren't my first choice in cars, i'd be able to get more out of it.

I say mustang because it's cheaper and RWD. Those reasons may not factor into what you are thinking about but that's why. But I do think that the SHO is effin sweet. The engine is damn powerful and will probably be pretty impressive once the aftermarket starts making engine parts. You know what....I change my mind lol. SHO gets my vote.
It may be true that Mustangs are played out but soon enough SHO enthusiasts from the 90s would probably be all over this car plus the people who like big sedans so pretty soon SHOs be played out too.
And to my knowledge, the Mustang aftermarket is much bigger than that of the SHO, so with tasteful modding you can make a Mustang "yours."
I realize the OP said "stockish" but I'm just throwing it out there for the ones who said Mustangs are overdone.
Mine's the red one.
