Well Taurus SHO has 220HP/222Torque, while the Stealth has 218HP/205Torque, they both have 3.0L engines i believe also. I dont know how much they each weigh, but i think a Taurus is over 3500LB. It also depends on how you race, dead stop, a roll at 60mph, etc...
I suppose the Taurus would win if you started at 60 just b/c it has more torque, but from a dead stop it would be pretty close i guess. Plus there both autos so it would be closer still...why dont you race whoever has the SHO and find out???

The good V6 3.0L Stealth has 222 horsepower and should beat the Taurus.

While base horsepower and weight is a quick comparision, engine design (camshaft lift/duration, valve size, intake/head design etc...) and gearing play a big part. This is especially true if the horsepower/tourque ratings are close. Good example, a naturally aspirated stealth vs. a regular full size V8 truck. Trucks typically have more horsepower/tourque but loose to the stealth.

im sad to say this, but the SHO has a fairly nice build for a stock car. The thing goes like hell.

I have driven one of those and i was surprised at how fast that thing was. Good luck, will be close.

ok so the cars are a close match the guy who cuts the lights the best wins. You snooz you loose is how it works. I have won hundreds of drag races sometimes aginst cars with more horse power and I won the race at the Christmas tree if your talking drag racing that is.

The SHO is not what the other taurii are.
Those things can near outrun some 5.0 mustangs.

That is, if the SHO is not in the repair shop. The SHO is not known for reliability.
