Ford SHO

[jlat]

hello people; I have a co -worker who just bought a 2014. We started talking about it and she wouldn't give me the answer with how much it was but when I said over 40k she said oh yea. It has all options I believe from a curtain that you control for the rear window to darkening side mirrors. nice car but alot in my book.
Tell me I saw a Jaguar commercial that looks real nice. Anyone know how much they are? Thay are owned by Ford correct?

Ford sold Jag a couple years ago.

She prob feels sorry for you driving an old granny Buick. Tell me... why is it so important that you have to ask what she paid for it ?? Kinda rude don't ya think ???

 

[jlat]

hello; I don't think it's rude at all and a ball park is good. I know there alot but I kinda knew what there going for. I thought maybe she got a deal but that was a dream.

Isn't Jag and Land Rover owned by TATA the Indian car company?

The Jag F1 maybe? 100K

You can look the SHO's up online and get a ballpark. They are not discounting these cars you pay sticker or sticker +.

They discount them here. Hell even Shelbys are discounted !!

Leased a 2013... the sticker was 44k and some change. Was able to use the A-plan. The only option it doesn't have is the sport suspension which I think is a $1500 option. Love the car! Excellent on long trips!

I would rather have the Fusion ecoboost. smaller and faster.

Didn't think the Fusion had the same HP as the Taurus? V6 SHO 365hp vs Fusion 2.0T 240-260hp?

Not true. The Fusion Ecoboost is a 2 litre single turbo I4 making 240 hp, no where near the hp of the Taurus SHO's 365hp twin turbo 3.5L v6. And it certainly isn't light enough to make up that kind of difference.

Yes, the Fusion is a zippy car with the 2L, but not on par with the twin turbo 6.

Guess I should have read everything, fast86 covered all this.

 

[BuickMike]

Yeah, no way the Fusion is faster with only a 2.0 vs. the 3.5. SHO's are about 1.5 sec faster in the quarter mile stock. SHO's will run high 12's with nothing but a tune.

No problem Turbo Dave, you said it better!

Do a correction with weight and I think they are equal.

Ever driven the two for comparison?? I have. They're not equal! Which is why I'm driving a twin turbo ecoboost now.

 

[notacarlo]

Driven the SHO at a track event. I'd rather have a smaller car for that.

I don't think so. They are a full second apart stock.

 

[notacarlo]

I bet that fusion would rape an SHO on a road course. With two equally skilled drivers, not yahoos.

I ran a 13.5 with my Ecoboost F150 with a tune and downpipe.

We are talking apples to oranges. I'm talking about quarter mile, not road coarse. No clue how the Fusion handles. I've heard it is soft though.
