Taurus SHO with the Yamaha engine? Hows your camshaft sprocket doing

That's Gen III SHOs ('96-'99) with the V8 with the cam issue.

The red car is a '90 Yamaha V6 MTX.

The performance to dollar ratio is quite amazing. I prefer it over the SRT4! Look at the specifications before saying no solely on the style. RWD direct injection turbo with LSD stock!! Wait until you see the price

*crossing my fingers hoping he likes the styling

Now that is one fine rde
I used to be obsessed with the ol aston martin dbs

I'm not a Taurus guy so I might have it wrong but isnt the black one a 96-99?

2001.

Well **** on a shingle. My mistake then

I liked the SHO with the Yamaha V8. Its really too bad it had such a weakness and didn't sell well.

My boyfriend had a '99 SHO when I met him. It was nice and welded, of course, but the V8 wasn't worth it being an automatic. The V6 is very nice though.

My plan is, once my tranny and/or motor blows up in the '01, it's getting the motor and tranny from a '96-'99 SHO. It's been done and it's very nice too. I'm not a big fan of the styling on the Gen III. I prefer the exterior and interior of my '01 much better.

How can it be smog legal if you swap an engine from an older car?

Do all of you know of the Ford Shelby Mustang GT-H from Hertz? I just convinced someone I know to rent the car to learn to drive

Here's a random story about the car http://www.usatoday.com/money/biztravel/2006-04-11-hertz-mustang_x.htm

Dang..that'd be sweet. My dad rented one for my parents 25th...returned it before I could have a go..

they're really cheap though. like...$200 for a weekend with a coupon (yes, I use coupons...coupons FTW!)

I've heard about the Ford Shelby that are able to be rented by Hertz.

The person in question was originally going to take a Skip Barber class but it was decided he needed more practice before spending that kind of money. Thats where the mustang came into play

 

[Kelso]

[ciper]

Which charger? 68-70 or 71-74? I hope you don't mean the original!

I was at the most recent International Auto Show and was able to see the Challenger close up. It looks like an amazing car and alot bigger than pictures would make it out to be.

Interesting charger story http://www.swiftindavis.com/sblog/index.php?itemid=516

edit: Wow, after searching for a while it seems that police all over the country are purchasing chargers/magnums.
