I am sure this was already put up here, but this is a HUGE FAIL of a review of the Ford Taurus SHO. My recent comments speaks volumes to how much bull**** this review is.  /rant

"This review was horrible. He has no clue what he is talking about. Nothing about the interior, nothing about the heated and cooled seats, heated rear seats, nothing about the auto-high beams, auto wipers, the gear ratios on the PP, and how this car with little modifications can run 12s in a quarter mile. This car has more features than every car in and above its segment, and has a price point that beats these cars in the segment. He doesn't even mention anything about the all wheel drive dynamic torque vectoring-- did he even know he was driving an all wheel drive car? Its a TORE-US not something that sounds like the Toyota "Yaris". Shame on you Sam."

Why not drop our drag times thread link in your review?

Seems like most of those peeps have no idea what these cars are actually capable of.

Hard to resist giving these reviewers the finger, isn't it?  :D
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

For the review being done on the track, I can see why he was hard on the car...

at the end he compares it to an AMG, or BMW; which is not the class of vehicle the SHO competes with, but I think speaks volumes that those were chosen as the comparison.
