Im gettin a taurus SHO later on, and i would like to know its setup. Ive never seen anyone even mention this car. Its got a 3.2 liter engine and the engine was actually manufactured by yamaha and some people call it the SHO-GUN. Its american practicallity with some asian power. Ive gone on google and searched it but no1 drifts it and there are very little mods for it. I just wanna know what you guys think about it and if its any good for drifting, or any sort of motor sport.

That's because it's FWD. Crazy big power, but not the best layout (plus heavy weight I believe).
You could build a SHO-Gun out of it though...
The SHO-Gun is a Ford Festiva with the SHO's drivetrain placed where the rear seat used to be, making it Mid-engined/Rear-drive.

We gave thought to doing a fiero/chevette hybrid by putting the v6 in the rear with the four speed, but that was just stupid.
Sho are pretty nice though.
You can get RWD motorcycle trans's from the UK for cheap (plus shipping) or off of E-bay.
Pertaining to the subject - the SHO Taurus is about equal to the SVT Contour in terms of performance, with the Contour edgeing out the SHO in handling by a bit, and coming under the SHO in speed by a hair.
If you built a SHO-Gun, you would get mad props and have a crazy drift car - there's even a whole section in "High Performance Handling Handbook" about handling setup for the SHO-Gun
DO it!
