Early 90s SHO stock runs a mid to low 15 second 1/4 mile. Not bad for the time. However damn near every car today is faster if you get the nicer motor option, SHO was the premium version of the car to be fair.

Civic SI
Honda accord v6
Mustang v6
350z
Camery v6
Almost any 2008+ car with a v6
List goes on and on and on...

My wife's civic should run a low 15 to high 14 second 1/4
My dd should run mid to high 12s at least if I were willing to lunch it hard enough.
My beater trailblazer SUV has people running them stock in the 15.5 range based on a quick google search lol....

SHO is a nice car, I've always liked them, hopefully you won't screw it up too badly, just don't forget that it's slow. Quick in 1990s but now it's no faster than the mom sitting next to you at the light.

This is probably the most well thought out post in the thread.
 
tanabe sustec pro coilovers ? lol and the 17x8's were a bit large, but work with what you got, allways downing my cars man whats the problem, I dont get on all your threads and just be outright rude

Just because you slap a set of coil overs on a car doesn't mean it automatically handles well.

He doesn't have any threads where he tries to pass off a turd mobile as a "dope" car. Your point is invalid.

A Taurus is still a Taurus. It's an obese looking car with zero attractive body lines. If you're comparing apples to apples, you would have compared it to a top of the line Corvette as the SHO was considered the top of the line Taurus.

It makes me laugh to even mention that car it's such a piece of shit.

and you drive what ? cause it will pick up and mop the floor with most hondas, my da was very fast compared to most hondas around , and the da is a SLOW TURD compared to the sho
 
cmon ladies he hasnt even had the car a week yet. lets see what he can do with this 5spd swapped taurus.

Great, so now you're going to ruin it.

Most hondas around have D15 motors and are never given more than 1/4 throttle?

a clean civic with GSR swap (stock motor) with bolt on will dip into the 13s with a good driver. do some minor motor work and you're looking at low 13s, start shaving off weight and go with a legit motor build and you'll be in the 12s, or be like Fred Ellis 10 years ago and strip out a CRX and build a junk yard motor from random engine parts, and run 11s with a N/A non vtec motor.

Again sir, your cars have all sucked.
 
Eh.. who cares if someone thinks the car sucks. But I mean, the attacks. Damn dude.

Try owning a 76 Cobra. You'll develop thick skin really fast.

I mean hell, I refuse to be seen in a Z. You think the guys on the forum really get all bent about it ?

It has nothing to do with the car, in fact this current car is hands down the best car hes had, it's the fact that hes talking chit about hondas and how much better it is VS any other honda he has built, when it comes down to it, he takes a honda, dumps chit into them and turns out a chit product and now hes talking down on hondas as a whole because his SHO is much better. Sadly my wife's stock 2007 Civic SI with 110K miles would most likely out brake, out handle, and out drag his SHO. And her car is slow as shit.
 
I drive my Civic because it handles reasonably well for a 20+ y/o car and it gets good gas mileage. Right now id much rather be saving money instead of spending it on something that will never equal the sum of its parts.

We mostly drive the gfs A4 to work and back because its comfortable and quiet and has heated seats and is safer than my Civic. It doesn't get good gas mileage but when we always carpool everywhere that effectively doubles our mpgs.
 
Reminds me of my gf's escort gt.

I used to have an Escort "Mini Boss". I actually liked that car. But the rear suspension blew through the chassis. It wasn't rusty, just a weak, retard-designed pile of shit.

How much air did you get when you jumped it? :p
