Welcome back SHO. Love the 98

Alright,

Keep in mind, that I have a 600rwhp Mustang, so it's hard for anything to blow me away.

This car had the optional 3.16 axle ratio an 20" wheels.

I give the car a 9 out of 10. What keeps it from getting a 10 for me is i think it could use about another 50 or so horses. and i'd like to hear it a bit more

I took a 5 mile trip down a very twisty road (9 mile for those around here), and it handled very nicely. The paddle shifters worked great to keep it in the gear you wanted it in for hitting the twisties. I was cooking around the bends and the car never got loose once. For the a full size family sedan, i really liked it.

Power is good, it doesn't launch super hard, but about 1 sec in it starts pulling.

On the straight, the car pulls good to around 100 or so, then it fades a little to 110 and more to 120. But still not bad.

The looks are very nice imo and the interior is excellent. The console is a little close on the right let, but you've got so much room to put the seat back, i gotta think a 6'5 6'6 guy could fit comfortably in here.

The cooled seats worked in like 20 seconds. The gauges are nice looking and everything is placed nicely in the car.

The exhaust is a little quiet and there is not any turbo noise to really be heard.

I think the aftermarket will rectify both the hp and the exhaust note.

I figure a tune, cai, exhaust, and the car will be pretty decent and should run a high 12.

Whats in a name? What if they called it BadassMofo, then would it be worth 40k?

NO !!! Because it would still be a TAURUS !!! :lol:

You can put an F40 motor in a Yugo, But it's still a Yugo !!! Unless it's a 4 door, then it's a Wego !!! LOL

That's getting closer to manageable.

[Tuned200]

Seems like a bargin for the performance of the car. My lgt was 32k sticker and it has a massive 250hp/250tq in stock form. I can't wait to see a sho in person. Nice write up as well.
