Anyone witness the 2010 Taurus SHO run a 12.75 @ Bowling Green at the NMRA Finals ? WOW !

I know this is a BBF site, but when we saw that black 2010 SHO in Bracket 3 run a 12.75 that was cool. WOW !

He claims he only has a tune on it with the air box removed.
On Sunday, he told me it weighed slightly over 4600 lbs with him in it !!

Here is the link to the NMRA forum on that car and video:

I didn't see it but I heard about it. Tracy and I checked out the new SHO on the midway and she LIKES it! May have to go visit Lem in the future

You are welcome. Very impressive Stang you have to withstand that 30 mile crawl and run those times 3 times in a row.
Have you posted anywhere about the build up of your car ?

I haven't but will when I get time to type everything up. Its a sbf. I haven't got to the big block yet. This has got to be the best forum for allowing me to be on here and helping me. Damon & Blake Got me started a couple years ago on the old forum and turned out to be good friends.

Yeah, the help here is second to none. Blake has been a big help to me as well, even tho I change my mind alot on what combo I want ....

Alan,

I posted on the NMRA Board about the Taurus it looked like it took off pretty good on that video the guy posted.

Later Mark.

That's impressive... My dad had a '89 & a '92 SHO... The '89 was a 5 speed, and the '92 was an auto... I drove both of them pretty hard, and would have to say that the '89 with the 5 speed was hands down the best of the 2... But, both cars were very impressive for V6's...









Doug...

I saw it run a 13.12

Now they need to offer the engine in a two wheel drive Ranger.

I stick by my view that I would like to drop one of those engines in my Ranger. Would make it a pretty fun ride.

While I would like to see a good running v6 in a ranger, I still LOVE my 466 in my 89 ranger....

So... I guess I'll make my first post to the new forum by asking a dumb question. lol. Is the new Taurus still front wheel drive? I couldn't tell by the vid. Looks like the traction control is doing it's job well.

Bob,

The 2010 Taurus SHO is AWD,Later Mark.
