[Shotimes] Beat by a Lincoln LS

[Ron Porter]

Yep. The LS is heavier, and it is not the place for a SHO motor. Goes back
to my original observations in 1989 after I owned the SHO for a few
months......that the Taurus was the heaviest car that they ever should have
put the SHO motor into.

Personally the styling of the LS has never grown on me.

They are around. A friend of mine has one; just dumped his 99 SHO for it
(previously had a mint 89 that I know he regrets selling).

Funny, last night I was thinking about what a nice animal an LS 351W
twin turbo, built tremec might be. Brakes, rims and suspension of course
too. :)

SHO motor..blah

I wouldn't do it though...I'm still heavily considering a 540i sport in
the next 2-3 years. <grin>

If you could "find" an LS V6 5-speed, it is a very rare animal!!

If you were born into money you wouldn't be talking about LSs and SHOs!!

And I see the '03 commercials are showing a whooping 12k difference in
the price of the two, damn that's one heck of a V8!

Wouldn't be interesting to find an older LS V6 with an Manual Tranny and
work in a 3.6l SHO motor!

Some time I wish I was born into money...

I believe that you would be hard-pressed to even FIND a V6 LS. I heard
rumors that they may have sold a few.....but I'll bet dealers never
ordered them.

It should have been a V8. Lets see...

2002, Weight ~3730lbs, 3.9-liter eight-cylinder 252 horsepower at 6,100
rpm and 261 ftlb of torque at 4,300 rpm.  Zero-to-60 acceleration 7.2
seconds.

2002, Weight ~3755lbs, 3.9-liter eight-cylinder 280 horsepower at 6,000
rpm and 286 ftlb of torque at 4,000 rpm.  Zero-to-60 acceleration 6.4
seconds.

No way it should have been a V6 if it pulled away on you up to 80 with
weight ~3675lbs, 210 HP & 205 ftlb to 230 HP & 220 ftlb depending on
year.

I'd say find a dyno and see what you really have at the tire/pavement.
Maybe the tuneup is needed or time to spend some$ on at least a MAF and/
or Intake upgrade!

BTW, nothing appears on the screen for your SHO site link.

Should this of happened or do I need a tune-up? I have no clue if it was
the 8 or the 6. She had me off the line and pulled away steadily up to
80 or so.
