i grew up thinking that the "SHO" title meant fast....untill i found out that the taurus SHO had a 3.8L V8, The smallest V8 that they made, correct me if im wrong on any of that

^ it was a 3.4L v8 w/ 235 hp and 230lb-ft. There was also a v6 SHO taurus. The SVO mustang in 84 was a turbocharged four-banger that made I think 175 hp.

The turbo 4Cyl was a 2.8L and was also in the thunderbird and thats about right on the hp, prob a little over. I had no idea about the taurus

The sho was introduced in 89, and it was a 3 liter with 220hp, not bad, I used to own one a long time ago, fun car. The newer sho's(96) are 3.4 liters, which have 15 more hp and 32 valves.

Its actually a 3.4. And its faster than your mustang with less displacement.

And OP, the SVO should take you

^^Thank you. Where did the SHO questions come from? I was asking about the SVO.

Thanks,
