Ok dokay. This is the 1998 ford SHO Blackout. I am the proud second owner of this Gen. 3 with 65,000 miles and welded cams. My father's best friend sold it to me earlier this year for $5000. He's the man. It came with every receipt and record for everything that has ever been done to it. It has never been taken anywhere but the Ford dealer. The engine is Immaculate. The fist thing I did was modify the mufflers with a high flow Y pipe and Magnaflow turbo's. I looked into it, and if I go higher than a 2 and 1/4" on my pipes i will have backpressure issues. So with that, I had to get the gotti style hot rod tips. Word vato! It's as loud as a GT Mustang. And unless you got a super charger on your Mustang, I will chew you up and spit you out homie. Right now, this is a 13 sec. car. I will have you tube of me smoking a 5.0 mustang fastback up soon. I blacked out the lites all around except for the Headlights (checking on legality in my state) and tinted the windows. 18" Incubus wheels with TRAFEK's 1998 Ford Taurus SHOTRAFEK's 1998 Ford Taurus SHO40 series tires. I could have went 20", but I would sacrifice my handling. That would be no good. I kept my stock rims for winter. And extra pair of wheels is always a good idea.

 66,000 miles! You will Never see another SHO like this in your life! Other mods on the way including a carbon fiber cowel hood, custom C.A.I., a logo strip, Lamborgini style flip up doors and a super charger. I will not put a chip in this car. Only mods that will not sacrifice ware and tear on my engine. Besides, it's fast as hell already.

why would you keep all oval stuff on an all oval, ugly ass ride? i'm also changing the spoiler so it squares off like the mustang or charger's. those oval tips on the gen 3's look hela gay!! i laugh when see them. like a bitch is driving the car or something. haha, give me a break with that comment. every other gen 3 owner i know is jealous of the exhaust system. the oval ones look better on the gen 1 and 2's because the body is square. guess some of you cats never heard of "flavor". i've never even seen a v6 duratec even get with a gen 1 or 2 sho. why would you own one of these years of cars and have it not be a sho? taurus's are pieces of shit, and all around are one of the worst cars ever made. especially between '96 and '99. EVERYTHING FALLS APART! but i guess you know that already. not to mention one of the ugliest cars ever made. gee, i sure wish i diddn't have a life so can be on this site all day long commenting on people's cars.
