Great collector car!

When Ford introduced the revolutionary 5-speed high performance 1989 Ford Taurus SHO they opened a new chapter in the history of performance automobiles. A Taurus with a clutch? Oh, yeah...
 
Car and Driver agreed, calling the new performance sedan "revolutionary", placing it in the same category as the 240Z and the 1960's Ford Mustang. By utilizing a unique  high performance 3.0 V6 engine designed and built by Yamaha, Ford turned an average sedan into a top performer. With 220HP and 200ft-lbs torque, the normally aspirated 1989 Ford Taurus SHO behaved like it was supercharged, with 145 mph at the top end and 0-60 mph in only 6.6 seconds - all in a body that looks like a family sedan. The Taurus SHO quickly became, and still is, the ultimate sleeper. At the time, its only true competitor was the BMW M5 Sedan - but only at twice the price!

It has a full complement of creature comforts: heating and ventilation, power windows, a heavily padded race seat and a complete dashboard. 

Given the Yamaha V6’s reasonable (220hp) power, somewhat accurate gearbox and no Big Brother nannies, this SHO is fun on Road or Track. 

When Detroit does something right they really, really nail it.

This car is very dependable - it was my daily driver last winter. I now have four cars so I have to get rid of one. I hate to see it go!

Clutch and water pump have recently been replaced.

Perks:
-great gas mileage
-new stereo receiver with USB connection
-custom SHO shift knob
-pulse rims with fairly new tires
-sunroof!

This vehicles has some minor flaws:
-the paint on the hood is faded and could use a new coat
-there is a crack in the windshield
-the fuel level sender does not function perfectly
-the leather on the seats is fairly worn

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
