   I'm starting this blog about a car that I personally think that Ford forgot to make. In the late 80s through the early 90s Ford made two mustangs. The very common 5.0 Mustang and the 2.3L 4cyl. economy mustang. There was no in between.

   They also at the same time made the ever so famous Taurus SHO. An incredible family car that was fast enough to take to an auto-cross or the track on the weekends. This car was very comfortable, and sporty all at the same time. The V6 in the SHO got up to 32 miles to the gallon, and had nearly identical HP and toque as the 5.0 V8 that got high teens for gas millage if you kept your foot out of it.The V6 out of the SHO never made it into any other vehicle. Which was a shame. It could have done very well in the mustang.

   I've bought a 3.2L SHO ( they made two versions. A 3.0L which was with the manual trans. And the 3.2L which was with the auto trans. due to lack of power making it to the ground in the auto trans. ) complete with wiring harness and computer, and  had 1993 Mustang with the 2.3L donated for the cause to attempt to build the Car that Ford forgot.
