Dave's 1997 Taurus SHO ES
It has a 3.4L 32valve V8 engine made by Yamaha. Interior is tan leather, with a nice custom stereo system complete with screen and DVD player.
It glows green at night (controlled by a remote) and certainly attracts a lot of attention. Me and my kids have a lot of fun with it.
Please note: This is my hobby car. It is just a damn toy. It is not a daily driver. With the flowmasters and the rest of the exhaust work I've done, it sounds very similar to Cobra or modded Mustang GT. People are very surprised to hear that sound coming from a taurus.
An 8 psi supercharger is possibly in this car's near future. I'm not sure if I'll do it before, or after the dreaded and looming transmission failure. (the other thing that fails on 99 percent of the SHO's. The other was the cams, and mine are already corrected by means of pinning.)
The car has 81k miles on it, and has been professionally maintained it's entire life.
The engine was made by Yamaha for Ford.
