Which would win in a drag raceTymundt June 1st, 2009, 09:31 AM So back before my car broke down i used to spank on stangs all day long. But now one of my friends went and bought a 1997 ford Taurus SHO. We cant decide who would win and i cant afford to fix my car at the moment so any input on who would win the 4.6l V8 dual DOHC w/ rear wheel drive against the 3.4l DOHC V8 w/ front wheel drive The omen June 1st, 2009, 10:11 AM Those little bastards are quick but I think you may take him! Rich88LSC June 1st, 2009, 10:39 AM Stock for stock a Mark should take a GenIII SHO. They are typically mid-high 15 sec cars. wood_e June 1st, 2009, 10:41 AM Mark wins... the V8 SHOs aren't that quick... and like to break cam sprockets too... Stack June 1st, 2009, 10:45 AM Cam sprockets go BOOM! wood_e June 1st, 2009, 10:50 AM interference designs FTL! XLRVIII June 1st, 2009, 11:05 AM 100% of the time the Taurus SHO will kick the living dog crap out of broken Mark 8. there is no "if my car wasn't broken it would beat your car". That's like saying "my dad can beat up your dad". Fix your car, then take them to the track. That is the only way to answer this question. the difference between the two cars performance can/will easily be surpassed by a "better driver" in the other car. "by the numbers" the cars are close to equal its gonna be "the nut behind the wheel, that makes the difference". Again, please take it to the track, this dispute could never be honestly settled in a street race with no timers, it could easily be a "PHOTO FINISH". XLRVIII June 1st, 2009, 11:06 AM interference designs FTL! all mod motors are of an interference design.... deadmark8 June 1st, 2009, 07:38 PM Chrysler 2.2 FTW!!!! kustomizingkid June 1st, 2009, 07:49 PM Wow.... Chrysler 2.2 shouldn't even be mentioned on this forum... blacklsc1 June 1st, 2009, 08:09 PM the actual term that ford uses is "swedging". The cam sprocket is actually pressed onto the cam(interference fit). eventually it will work its way loose. Fords fix for this, is to fill the seam with loctite. A much better fix is to have them spot welded, or pinned. The 3.4liter is actually one of the smoothest engines ford ever built(or should i say yamaha who assembled it, though ford designed it) The third gen sho's also have one of the quickest, smoothest shifting trannies. It be a good race, but im giving the edge to the mark 8. Off the line the sho's geared better, but i think once 50 mph comes the mark will charge past it.(thanks to better gearing, and bigger lungs) i had a 97 sho that i miss, and i own a 98 mark 8. wood_e June 1st, 2009, 08:50 PM I miss my 95 SHO nearly every day, but with over 150k the trans was living on borrowed time. Aquabrit June 1st, 2009, 08:55 PM the actual term that ford uses is "swedging". The cam sprocket is actually pressed onto the cam(interference fit) According to the SHO forums, the process used was swaging, whereby the sprocket would be put on, then a metal ball (of slightly larger size than the hollow cam) would be forced through. chicken June 1st, 2009, 09:00 PM i had to change the alt in a v8 sho (lot car) so after i changed that mess i had to test the "high rmp alternator output" :D well needless to say i was very disappointed.....id be willing to bet a 3.0 dohc v6 taurus is faster 98LSC32V June 2nd, 2009, 12:31 AM i had to change the alt in a v8 sho (lot car) so after i changed that mess i had to test the "high rmp alternator output" :D well needless to say i was very disappointed.....id be willing to bet a 3.0 dohc v6 taurus is faster No way... the V8 Sho is a mid 15 second car... MediumD June 2nd, 2009, 05:40 AM IMO, if you have a 1st gen you will win, if you have a 2nd gen it will be close. topher5150 June 2nd, 2009, 06:15 AM IMO, if you have a 1st gen you will win, if you have a 2nd gen it will be close. What about a moded Gen2 Chadly June 2nd, 2009, 06:59 PM My 97 would spank them. Easily. chicken June 2nd, 2009, 07:04 PM No way... the V8 Sho is a mid 15 second car... i dunno the one i drove was a pooch then, i wasn't impressed at all. i like the older sho's with the v6, those flew. and everyone here keeps referring to the v8 as the 3rd gen sho? wouldn't it be a 2nd gen? yes its a 3rd gen Taurus yes but only 2nd gen sho htrdlincoln98 June 2nd, 2009, 09:39 PM My 97 would spank them. Easily. Yes I second that!! kustomizingkid June 2nd, 2009, 09:42 PM That is where the SHO.... especially third gen falls off... not much for mods...
