This is exactly the treatment that the SHO/MKS needs to go to the next level:

Read about this car the other day, it's very awesome! They should publish some mpg numbers now that the 1.0 is in there and then swap it with a 2.0 and publish some performance numbers, that things has the potential to be faster than a Focus ST with how light it is!

I bet the taurus could drop 300 pounds from that.... that would put alittle more that 4000 plus... still intresting though. I'm sure SVT is gonna do that with the new Mustang i'm sure.
2011 Taurus SHO... factory for now.

If I had the time/money, I'd love to see just how much weight I could strip out of a SHO.

i park next to an audi A4, and a ford fusion frequently.  the Taurus looks huge compared to most 4 door cars now a days.

The current Taurus basically replaced the crown vic in the ford line up.  So she's a big girl from the start.

I was just reading the review on the 2014 CTSV sport, and came across its comparison of the 2014 BMW 550i. It weighs in at 4450lbs. So why is it that all reviewers freak out at the weight of the SHO?
