Who will win?
My friend in a 90 or 91 ford tauras sho, I don't know how its spelled, thinks his car is the ****. He says it has 220 horses with a yamaha engine in it. Who do you think will win, his sho vs. my 86 n/a rx-7?

Are there any mods on your N/A? Those year SHOs can break 14s stock, so if your stock or even mildly modded he will smoke you. Personally I think its still an ugly taurus, but its a pretty quick ugly taurus

Both of us are manual. I spin the tires going in to second, so my engine is still strong, but stock.

No offense, but unless he falls asleep, you have no chance.

A buddy of mine had a 94 and it hung with my TII when it was stock.

Friday night came and gone and the guy didn't show at all. No one could get ahold of him, so either he got scared or something major happened. I'll find out on monday.

i wouldent drag race him man, ive driven an automatic sho and it was really fast, hell of a lot torque. An n/a rx7 could not beat one unless you had nitrous.
Good luck in any case

I have had 2 SHOs and they are pretty fast. It might be pretty close though depending on how well he drives it. All else aside, it would be a fun race!
