'98 Ford Taurus Water Temperature
2009-08-01 12:54:00 I was just completing a very detailed post and apparently hit a wrong key and everything I wrote disappeared. I don't know if it was posted or not. To recap, I installed a new radiator (expansion tank) cap, thermostat, radiator and high speed radiator motor relay and am still having indications
Ford Taurus leaking coolant from cap.
2009-07-19 01:37:00 My 1996 Ford Taurus was leaking coolant from under the radiator cap when my wife came home from a short in-town trip. The outdoor temperature is in the 90s. The coolant was not overfilled. I checked the gauge in about 10 minutes after she came home. It was in the normal range. The belt is not broke.
Popular Mechanics - 2010 Ford Taurus SHO vs. 2009 Chrysler 300C
2009-06-28 23:43:00 If you are wondering what the ~4400-pound Taurus SHO competes against, Larry Webster (formerly of Car and Driver) of Popular Mechanics has the answer: the all wheel drive Chrysler 300C.

1989 Taurus SHO prototype pictures found
2009-05-19 03:20:00 Kudos to the Scream and Fly site http://forums.screamandfly.com/-forums/showthread.php?t=179970&-nbsp; for locating and publishing the only known images of the Taurus SHO prototype built in 1986 at the Carron and Company in Inkster, Michigan: According to the forum, an Escort gearbox was mounted and a Mustang hood bulge was adopted to the Taurus to make it all fit together.
The Taurus SHO weighs 4,368 pounds!
2009-05-06 15:50:00 Based on a careful analysis of the specs of the current AWD Taurus and the new Lincoln MKS AWD, we concluded that the new Taurus would weigh in at approximately 4150 pounds. That seemed to be a reasonable number for what is almost literally a slightly shortened MKS. We were wrong. Instead, as a first ride in the new SHO by Edmunds Inside Line tells us (http://www.edmunds.com/insidel-ine/do/Features/articleId=14740-6 ), it's actually 4368 - almost exactly what the MKS weighs. That, folks, is a heckuva lot of weight. And mass. And never mind the author's statement that the SHO feels like a smaller car: you can't cheat physics. The HP/pound rating is still good - better than any previous generation SHO, but we find it hard to believe that the overall dynamics of the new SHO will be very good. 4368 - without driver and passenger - is one heckuva lotta weight. Repeat after me the number one rule of performance cars: "you can't cheat physics". You can cheat the sense of physics by var...
New high-res Ford SHO Taurus and EcoBoost images on DrivingEnthusiast.net
2009-03-01 23:28:00 Interested in the new 2010 Taurus SHO? We've explained our feelings in the past few weeks that the Taurus is in our humble opinion (and as owners of both Gen 1 and Gen 3 SHOs) just too big a platform to build a proper SHO on... but that's what we have been handed so we'll go with it. Today we've expanded our website significantly, adding 292 MB and 27 MB of images respectively to the sections on the site covering the 2010 SHO and the EcoBoost engine. Dozens of super high resolution (SHR?) images cover all available angles of the car and it's engine. Our purpose? To preserve these images for posterity. We've done the same with images of all the major Ford products over the past ten years, such as the 2000 Cobra R. Enthusiasts can save them, make them into wallpapers, plan a purchase of a SHO, and - if you are engine nuts like us - examine the engines in fine detail.

Taurus SHO vs. Falcon XR6T - Australians weigh in
2009-02-15 17:42:00 The current Australian Falcon has a long and beloved performance history, supports local preferences with a rear wheel drive (RWD) architecture, and all importantly - to the Australians - is home grown. The XR6T version (4 liter inline 6, with turbocharger) is the current high water mark of performance - even bettering the version of the same car equipped with the 5.4 liter DOHC V-8 (roughly similar to the SVT Cobra R 5.4 engine, although with some differences). The XR6T is an attractive and desirable car.... although somewhat dated by European standards. The current Falcon is a "top hat" update to the previous car, retaining a fairly old architecture and suspension. The new body shell and minor updates were conceived as a short-term and inexpensive fix, until a new RWD platform came to fruition around 2012 that would meet worldwide standards. The Falcon platform had been briefly considered for export but had too many technical issues for worl...

Wil the Taurus SHO be introduced at the Chicago Auto SHOw?
2009-02-09 16:29:00 All signs point to a SHOwing of the EcoBoost 3.5 liter DOHC twin-turbo V-6 at the Chicago auto show. Question is: will it be shown in a Taurus... and will that model be named SHO? Ford has provided additional images of the EcoBoost engine in the last few weeks. First a picture (actually provided as part of the Detroit show press materials) of the special piston used in the boosted version of the 6. You'll note the dish in the middle of the piston that the (direct) injector is aimed towards. Also note that the injector is placed in the side of the head. This is current practice - but not for long. The upcoming 4 cylinder EcoBoost engine places it on the top of the chamber (known as "central"), between the valves, pointing downwards. The Jaguar 5 liter V-8 engine (designed with Ford, but alas no longer owned by Ford) places it similarly. Ford has also released the very first image showing the production ready engine. Previously released images were of d...
Ford Opens the 2010 Taurus to the Public

All-new Taurus SHO coming to market
2009-01-02 17:32:00 Jalopnik.com has purloined uncovered http://jalopnik.-com/5118591/the-ford-taurus-sho--is-back (<right click> and <open in new tab>) images of a Ford prototype that indicates a new Taurus SHO is coming to market. Look for it in the calender 2010 timeframe! As a former owner of both Generation 1 and 3 SHOs, we have just a few (!) opinions as to the viability of a new SHO. We've also taken our well-received SHO vs SHO comparison article (comparing our original 89 SHO to our 97 SHO with owner impressions of both and specifications of all three generations) and created a SHO vs SHO vs SHO article guesstimating what the 2010 SHO specs will be and comparing them to the original 3 generations. The new Ford Taurus SHO will be a large and heavy car: 202+ inches and 4150+ pounds). How viable is this in today's market? Will this be worthy of the name SHO or will it be an unworthy a luxo-barge? Follow the link ab...
Ford Focus with SHO Taurus V-6 swap
2008-12-27 04:19:00 Of course the greatest Ford V-6 engine ever was the SHO V-6... built and designed by Yamaha for Ford. It's been swapped out of SHO Tauri and into many deserving recipients. One is the Ford Focus below. See the site here: http://www.modifiedfocus.com/sh-oswap.htm - which unfortunately doesn't have any technical details or results.
