VE Maxima vs. Taurus SHO
What do u guys think, my friend gave me a ride home in his 94 SHO and it seemed pretty quick, seemed a little faster than my A/T VE , His SHO was also an automatic, and i do not know that much about them but i know they make a modle with a yamaha engion, which he does not have. Seems like a pretty good race tho if i had a 5 speed, what do u guys think? but i mean it still is a TAURUS

They're pretty fast, but heavy as hell. It's a Ford so it;s chock full of electrical gremlins. The engine in those cars is the only part that dosnt suck.

I'm pretty sure all SHOs made back then had the Yamaha engines.

yeah i think they have 220 horse, my friend has one too (well about 4 of them, her dad loves fords) and she wants to race also. Tell me how it goes privately, i don't think racing stories are permitted on here or else....

Its a nice car. I looked at them also when I was looking for a like-year Maxima. I test drove a 94 5speed version and it didn't drive any different than a Maxima in town other than it has more low-end power than the VE.

In the comparison I have in Car and Driver from 1992, the SHO beat the Maxima in both 0-60 (SHO = 6.4, Maxima = 7.0) and quarter mile (SHO = 15.1 @ 93, Maxima = 15.5 @ 91). Both cars were 5-speeds, though.
Stock for stock, the SHO is faster, but not by a whole lot. I am not too sure about either car with an auto tranny, either.
Yeah, don't post your "race results" here. There is a weekend battles section in the General Maxima forum. Go there for your racing fix. You will get locked and/or banned here for it.
