Found a sleeper video with the SHO

So when any of the fast SHO's launch, even at 50/50 torque split the PTU/RDU is seeing in the neighboorhood of 3500 ft-lbs

The Taurus RDU looks very weak just based on physical appearance. the focus appears to have a better RDU. Ford didn't give a flying **** about the taurus. Unfortunately they dropped the ball in almost every performance and drivetrain related category.

Now as an everyday sedan that can steal the show at stoplights and is fantastic for long trips, it is wonderful. It holds all of my luggage and 4 average adults comfortably at 80mph for hours at a time.

But I have noticed issues with just the way the AWD doesn't fully handle the power under a rolling start on a wet road. It also doesn't seem to be engaged at all at higher speeds. But my main concern is that it's useless once you get 2 wheels in wet grass or on ice, especially on a hill.

Bring on the swaps and aftermarket support.

For a low production orphaned platform? I've seen this movie before. Good luck.

Bingo.

You just have to realize this platform is an orphan and its not going any further than that.
Now beating mustang's, vetts, chargers, challengers and Camaro's at the track never gets old. My favorite is grudge night is the best.

Ive been maxxed out on this platform since the intercooler and file pump. I have zero plans to Go any further. I actually kind of regret doing the intercooler, it's awesome but... It would've been better if I planned to upgrade the turbos and intake/exhaust/etc...

Anyways, I just wanted to see some Carnage FFS. I don't care about aftermarket support for this platform for myself, but I know some of you are diehards for the SHO.

So what are those “few minor upgrades” to get me to 500hp???

Most bolt ones will get you 500 to the crank. 500 to the tire is a different story.

Depends on which tire
