[Shotimes] RE: supercharging

[Midwest SHO Specialists]

Speaking as someone that owns a Taurus and someone that owned a Fox body
(sheds a tear) let me toss in my 8.75 cents.  The fox body is raw, not very
comfortable to drive, but fun as all hell.  Regardless of whether or not the
Taurus has a stiffer structure to being with, stock for stock, the Mustang
handles very well and the Taurus has more understeer than.... ummmmm....
Something that has a lot of understeer. : > )

With that said, the cars are for two different people.  The Mustang is your
raw go fast mobile, while the Taurus is your family luxury sedan.  Or at
least that is what it was intended to be. : )
