Sorry, too much $$ for a 4400 lb Taurus. At least my Taurus, a 90' and 92', didn't weigh but 3200, and could do alot with the 220 Hp they had. My 92' ended up having over 320 RWHP after a blower. That car screamed, and it only cost $24K car and all. So sad they they are now almost the same price as a Lincoln. The Lincoln that it shares its underpinnings with starts a $40K, and I believe the MSRP on the SHO, base, is $38K. That's too high for a high performance Ford sedan. Too bad Ford couldn't have been faithful to the SHO heritage, an economical sleeper.
just because it's ford doesn't mean it can't be high end
with my dplan and rebates i paid $35734, and that is with the sho performance pack and 401a order code
i don't think thats outta line with the category this car fits into
maybe you should drive one first before making a decision just because it's a "ford"
