Anyone see the new SHO?

[exbass94]

Keep in mind guys, that this is a BIG freakin car, even though it may not look like it from the pics. It's about as big as a Crown Vic, which is a bit of land yacht, and it weighs about the same.
New Taurus: 4400 lbs
Crown Vic: 4127 lbs

Taurus: 208 in long
CV: 218 in

Your opinion was given to you by the as you've been tolds.

We are seeing the fastest muscle cars ever right now. People have all these romantic memories--but a 2010 Dodge Charger Hemi will whip a 1968 Dodge Charger Hemi. I've looked up the magazine tests for both. And the new one is heavier, does it with air conditioning and such--not a stripped out rattle wagon. Automatics were part of the popular muscle car days. The pistol grip shifter controlling the TF727--the Powerglide is still in use professionally. An auto with a hard hitting shift programming and a high stall converter will leave a manual in the dust on a dragstrip.

You do realize a magazine test article testing a stock 1968 Dodge Charger would mean the Charger was equipped with Bias Ply tires, meaning, that, coupled with the 490ftlbs the 426 was putting to the ground getting it to launch would not be the eaisest thing in the world.

Put on a set of good sticky tires and that 5.7L hemi wont know what hit it.

later,
