i'm pretty sure the 3.0L pushed the 89 taurus into the 15 second range-- and last i checked it made about 200ft-lbs torque and 220 horse with somewhere around a 7k redline
:edit:
for a long time the taurus SHO was considered the fastest FWD car ever made... infact it was said to be ahead of it's time-- this all from my research on the internet on WTF could be wrong with my 3.8L back about 2 years ago
Dude your figures are so off it's ridiculous. The '89 Taurus had the crappy ass Vulcan 3.0 pushrod V6, it made 155HP and was slow as balls.
The Taurus SHO was about as quick as a Maxima in the straight line, but handled like shit, was still a Taurus, and that Yamaha V6 broke often.
God, I know so much useless garbage it amazes me.
