Tough Taurus

Postby EFFalcon » June 11th, 2010, 8:40 am

Whilst not a 'Boosted Falcon'
It is one of our Turbocharged US Cousins, the Taurus SHO... and a nice one at that.

The Mobsteel Taurus SHO
With an estimated 458HP and a 12.4 1/4 Mile time, it certainly goes as good as it looks.

The big grill would look better if it had something else in or behind like a big fark off IC or a big Ford badge in the middle or incorporated into the mesh

Ford in America have already got TTV6's in some of there models.
I think it looks porn compared to their prevois taurus. I'd love to see a TTV6 in the falcon.
Everyone who says that's a shit ideA, wgaf your never gonna buy one.
