Default what would make a sho taurus faster than my car?

i raced a taurus SHO and it was at a roll but he started to pull on me hard in 3rd so i let him have it. those are supposed to be fast lil cars and i new when he tried racing me at the light the first time he had a reason for trying. i think these are a 3.0l 24valve dohc motor rated at 215hp?? is it a heavier car than a fox?

When my car was stock i got smoked by an SHO at the track, all he had was a shot of Nitrous and ran 14 flat. Stock I believe they're low 15 second cars.
