If only Ford would repeat the original SHO success with a proper and exciting lighter 4-door sedan with big power.
Great video, Sid!
I’ll never forget going to 5 Star Ford in 89-90 and my dads reaction to seeing a black SHO on the lot. This 6’2” 230lb 40 something man starts jumping up and down pointing and repeating “this is it Raymalee! They have one!”
Needless to say he bought it, a black on grey leather 5spd car that my mother drove for 4-5 years. You thought he was driving it didn’t you? Nope, he had a fully loaded 87 GT vert as a daily that my mother bought him on his 40th. I hadn’t thought about that in years, awesome video thanks for posting that Sid.
THAT would have been GOOD! I agree.It would have been nice if the Fusion Sport was tweeked a bit with that formula.

A tune wakes up the Fusion Sport. It’s still an understeering pig, but she moves out pretty well.It would have been nice if the Fusion Sport was tweeked a bit with that formula.

My wife drives a '15 SHO. It's a great full-sized fast enough couch. I wish Ford would have thrown this through the SVT group rather than refit the Police Interceptor package. It's good enough in a straight line, but the bulk isn't handled real well, and is shaky on the turns.

I remember hearing about the exec team on this car, so rumour has it - they went to a Honda owners club event, and they were amazed how enthusiastic the owners were, they were apparently promoting capabilities of their cars as being fabulous (VVTI or VTEC or whatever they had back then) without even realising their cars didn't have those features.
Ford decided that they wanted to produce a car that engendered that level of owner pride and enthusiasm.
Hence - the Taurus....
Drove across the country last year in a one owner 200k mile 91 SHO (some of you may remember that thread)
Its fun to hear the IMRC's open up when you cross 4500rpm
