friend and i went for a cruise, charger vs porsche

[miller]

We finally got my friends Porsche running and on the street (he paid 500 bucks for it, not a bad deal if you ask me). It is actually quite nice, air, power windows, power locks, manual trans. Only down side is that it has manual steering.  Heres some pics of our cars together before we set off.


...you realize how long the charger is when you compare it to a 944 nose to nose

Were waiting------"and the winner is"----. Also, did that car look like that when he bought it, I think the wheels are probably worth more than 500 bucks.

Oh yes, vs.... well we know from a 10 mile an hour roll the charger owns it, the little 2.5 4 cylinder can just doesnt have enough tourqe to keep up to my slightly modded 318. Now from a stop, he can start to pull ahead because he can dump the clutch and scream away, were mine bogs off the line and as a result he is to far gone for me to catch him (the only thing more tempermental than my motor was my ex girlfriend). If I really wanted to beat him, I would haul out the taurus SHO (it beat the charger quite handly).

But see, for me its all about style right now, people love the charger, and i must say it got way more looks than my taurus or even the porsche get.

I have never been worried about speed, well at least until the 440 gets in there, but my friends hemi cuda still smokes me... so whats the point in trying to be top dog, always someone better. So just enjoy what you got!

Also thanks for the compliment, i do it because it relieves a lot of stress to just go out and shoot the car, we are doing one soon of all my friends rides, ill post it up when we finish it!



My SHO and last pic is my friends almost a million dollars worth of cars (he has more, just his top 3)

and yes the car "looked" like that when we picked it up, unfortunately it didn't run near as good (ran on three cylinders). So over the winter we fixed some of the fiberglass underbody, re-carpeted and reupholstered the interior, and got the motor back in running condition, quite a car for 500 bucks.

When we found it.

What is a Taurus SHO?  I know what a Taurus is, but what does the SHO stand for?  If it is a Show car,  then why the hell would anyone turn a Taurus into a show car?

SHO stands for Super High Performance, it was basically the SVT of the 90s... the 98 Taurus had a 3.4 liter 32 valve DOHC V8 that was co-built with Yamaha, it also had variable suspension package that changed to how the driver drove. It also came with every option the Taurus had to offer. In 98 they only produced a little over 3000 of them. Pretty much the halo car for fords passanger car fleet.
