[QUOTE="Slushi, post: 4741003, member: 51939"] v8 is 57 pounds lighter :thumbsup: as much as i like the SHO V6 series, I don't think the duratec series is a bad line of engines, and if the AX4N wasn't such a piece of junk the V8 may have made more power. V6 guys should understand this with all the issues the V6 has on the AXOD. But to be honest I really don't think a taurus is worthy of the V6 SHO, it should have gone into the Thunderbird or Cougar or something more performance oriented where it could really be appreciated by a larger group of people. It's not the Taurus itself is lame or stupid, but look at the approach of all the other companies when making a performance sedan, ford was the only one that used a totally custom and original engine. Dodge and Chevy both used F/I vehicles, i think a 2.2L Turbo or 2.3L turbo or heck even a 3.8L Supercharged would have been a better choice, and then put that SHO in the GT-40 (twin turbo'd of course!)
