@FastestLaps/Hoppelmoppel123 Please change name to Taurus SHO (Mk I & Mk II)
https://www.motortrend.com/vehicle-genres/ford-taurus-sho-history-generations-specifications/
"For the 1992 model year and the second generation of Taurus, the new SHO carried the same Yamaha-designed 3.0-liter V-6 with the same power, torque, and transmission."

Best comment from the previous page about this car:
"PN, the SHO must be measured against its contemporary rivals and in 1988 it was extraordinary. Look at the facts:
SHO 6.6 0-60, 15.2 1/4 mile.
Which meant it was faster than:
BMW 325 7.5 15.7
BMW 535 7.0 15.5
BMW M3 7.1 15.4
BMW M6 7.0 15.5
MB 300E 7.5 16.0
MB 420SEL 8.7 16.7
MB 560SEC 7.0 15.5
MB 560SL 6.8 15.2
Porsche 924S 7.8 15.8
Porsche 944S 8.0 16.2
Ferrari 328 6.7 15.0
Ferrari 412 6.7 15.0 (1986)

Firebird GTA 7.4 15.9
Supra 7.9 16.0
Prelude VTEC 7.2 15.1 (1994)
RX-7 Turbo 6.7 15.1
Equal to
P 944 Turbo 6.6 15.1
Supra Turbo 6.6 15.2
Slightly slower than
BMW M5 6.3 14.6
Corvette 6.0 14.6
300ZX Turbo 6.5 15.0 (1990)
911 Cabriolet 6.5 15.0
MR2 Superchgd 6.5 15.0
Mustang GT 6.4 15.0
The SHO was a roomy 4-door that was FASTER than most sports cars from 1987-1989. The only four door faster was the M5 which cost $50,000. So yes, it was an amazing car for its time. "

I've added the first gen taurus sho because the one already here has several wrong data and picture.
