Several years ago when the SHO Tauruses came out, I lived in a suburb of San Antonio. A cop who liked my Challenger used to be patrolling my neighborhood about the time I'd get home, so he'd stop to talk about cars. He was telling me that when his police department got an SHO, some of the cops took it and a Crown Vic up on one of the larger streets about 3 a.m. one morning and ran them. He said the Crown Vic blew the Taurus away. I would have paid good money to see two cop cars street racing.
His police department got a SHO? What generation was it, the first two generations of the relatively good looking Taurus or the final generation "Catfish" SHO with a V8? Was this a police package?
I know there was a police package Taurus but I know it did not feature a Yamaha powered V6 engine, it instead offered the head gasket-blower the 3.8L V6 and that would be a very lame police cruiser with around 150-160 hp. It would have to be that or possibly the V8 SHO because there is no way a stock Crown Vic Police Interceptor could touch a V6 SHO (especially a manual equipped version).
Nice paint work on another Mustang. I do think though that they should revive the SHO to make the new Taurus interesting.
