Simple boltons will get this car into the 500hp range, I can safely assume that a chip will throw in a 100hp add in a intake ehxaust and water methanol injection kit and you will have a car classy enough to take your grandma to church and a car with ***** big enough to race corvette's

Chips and/or water injection will void the warranty. You'll do it at our own risk.

Agreed. They *are* the finest hand-made watches in the world. It takes a year to build a single watch. One reason why they are more expensive than most timepieces. They are, without question or argument, the most reliable, most indestructible watch on earth. Herritage? The Rolex name is legendary and dates back to 1912.

I've had a few buddies with modified Honda's and such that were still under warranty, and were never given any flack about it. Not sure about Ford's practices though.
This car looks amazing to me. Can't wait to see one on the road.

I saw one on the road...it is a LOOKER! and looks like a large luxury sedan when it passed me by.
My company gets GM supplier discount, Ford's X plan discount and Chryslers affiliate program.
The Ford taurus is included in the X plan corporate discount but when I called a local dealer, they said they wont honor the pricing on the SHO trim. The GM called me and said dealers around the country are asking $4-5K over sticker for it so it would be a foolish thing for him to sell me a car $3000 discounted from MSRP. There is also a $1000 rebate that started a few days ago on only the SEL/Limited/SHO model trims making it possible to get $4000 off on this great car if your dealer will accept the pricing

My main problem with the car is the back end...it's awful. The front end is swept back and elegant, the sides are well shaped and attractive....and then you get to the butt. The squarish tail lights look tacked on to a flat, shapeless rear end and it doesn't flow with the rest of the design at all. I have seen a few Tauruses in person now and I keep trying to swallow the rear end but I just cant- the design doesn't flow at all IMO.

You guys seen this? http://www.stangtv.com/forum/2010-ta...-13s-5955.html The SHO running almost 12 seconds in the quarter mile with a simple tune and no bolt ons. This may turn into a 11 second car. 
^^^^^ I saw that in another forum and yea it's only a matter of time. Factory Turbo platforms respond well to mods. Interested to see how much the trans and motor can take.
