Exclamation My 5.0 vs Livernois Motorsports Taurus SHO development car

Today Livernois wanted to see what kind of progress they are making with their SHO shop car.
This car is highly tuned and looking to run in the 12's tommorow at the strip.

He would get the drop on me (AWD you know) and I wouldnt run him down until we started to approach 100mph when I would start to RUN him down. Simply amazing they can get a a car that is that big and heavy to move like that with just a tune (so far at least).

Pictures and Video below!

Taurus is SO MUCH HEAVIER than the Mustang that AWD or not, it shouldn't pull you out of the hole.

It sucks that Atlantis Green Metallic was a one-year-only color for the SHO.

At least for the 2011MY, they added Kona Blue to the mix...

Also, can I recommend some easy to use photo editing software so that you can reduce the size of GIGANTIC pics like those?

Even with a DSL connection it took a while to load those pics...

I've never driven one of the new Tauruses but I've sat in one. Really nice interior. It's a crying shame that you can't get the SHO with a manual transmission. Give it a stick and more powerful brakes and you'd have a hell of a machine. In Red Candy or White Platinum they look really sharp.

The site automatically re-sizes the pics but not until after the thread loads. So when you click the link to the thread the full size file loads and is then re-sized.

The pontiac sounded nastiest of the three cars!

Wild sounding exhaust on it.

That's cool. Just lots of lights going on there.

Personally I think it would look better without the grille fogs having the HID headlights. Then putting a LED bulb into the lower fogs to get a color match with the HID.

Still a nice looking car.

The Taurus would look a lot better if all the chrome on it was blacked out, be a hell of a stealth weapon.
