Good ol' Taurus at IRP (VID)

Well, here's a file I finally got on my computer from when I got to run at Indianapolis Raceway Park in July. This was my first track time with nitrous and times for everyone were low that day because of the temp being about 100 degrees but I was happy to beat a supercharged SHO with drag radials on street tires and loose suspension. Enjoy!
N2O SHO vs. SuperSHO

Nice times, I drove a stock 3.2 auto SHO once... they are faster than you expect a Taurus to be...

Question though... do you still have the stock AXOD-E tranny used in all those models? If so, stock up on rebuild kits and pray you don't have to use them lol...

Of course not... manual tranny. The auto's didn't come until the 93' model year as an option. The manuals have a 3.0 where as the autos have a 3.2 making 10 more horse and 15 more ft./lbs to make up for the driveline loss in an auto. The autos are still slower than the sticks stock for stock and the manuals have weaknesses of their own.... well mine doesn't anymore.
