It would sound like a motorcycle engine! The problem with my buddy's Taurus SHO (mid 90's) was the alternator would spin to fast if the engine redline was not kept below 7,000 RPM, the engine could handle more than the alternator!
Fred.
Glorious engines in those early SHO's. I owned an 89 and a 95 model. My team fields several SHO's in the sh*tbox racing series in the Gulf coast region, so we know them well. It is a very competitive car, and a blast to drive.
If only I had the coin to spring for a 2016 350 GT, what a sweet ride!
I liked the early SHO. In fact wanted one, but had a young family, got a station wagon instead. Not as much fun for sure.
SHO...power, finesse, handling , braking....it had it all and in a 4 door sedan.
The SHO had that wonderful DOHC designed Yamaha engine, which was another reason for it's appeal to me.
I'm a long time motorcyclist enthusiast and among the bikes I have had...the Yamaha's have been tremendous bikes. Liked the race developed engineering, many of them have.
