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
My parents owned a 89' Taurus GL with the 3.8L. That engine was powerful but plagued by bad head gaskets and other typical Ford issues.
