I'm not sure exactly what the Dodge STOCK times are but will find out.The dodgetruckworld.com site has actual hemi 1500 owners claiming between hi 6 seconds and low 7s but that is with light mods done.I will see if I can find stock times.I did find out that Ford Taurus SHO 0-60 times of 4.1 seconds,thats a stock 4 door sedan.

3rdshiftzombie: Instead of argueing with you, why don't you do me a favor and google:
Taurus 0-60
See what you come up with. 6 flat for a GL? Ha! 4.1 for an SHO? Double ha! Wait, we are talking MPH right?

My truck isn't a super fast truck (I know that) but I'm only doing 300hp or so at the wheels (haven't dyno'd yet but thats a good guess) I have no real power adders!!! Check my gallery (Time Slips) look at what mods I have I'm positive a 5.4L won't run what my truck runs with those mods, Hell not even the roush Stage II F150 runs better times then my truck and its Superchaged... (From what I've seen in the mags)
Tell you guy what once I install my S/C next month I plan to dyno it and I'll post the results here!!!

hemi
Another user did the google search thing and found a site but it did not list my exact year,make and model and for the cars it did list it failed to explaine how it arrives at it's numbers.The site I gave the link to does list my year,make and model and it explaines it's numbers,HANDS ON TESTING of it's own,then it compares it's numbers with other car magazines results for that same model then figures out average.So if you want to get real technicial about,if 6.0 flat was the average then some of the magazines that tested it undoubtedly had a QUICKER time.You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.The non believers must have been beaten by the hemi.

3rdshift: OK, lets see, according to your link a 95 buick roadmaster does 0-60 in 3.1 secs. That's faster than just about every "supercar" ever made. It also says a 2005 hemi ram (3/4 ton mind you) does it in 5.9. Do you see a trend here? The website is pure crap.
Adding 2 seconds to the times of the Taurus (either one) would still be VERY good times. My youngest niece believes in unicorns (in fact, she's seen one!), I don't give her a hard time, I'll go easy on you guys too.

For what it's worth... Motor Trend magazine tested your truck at 8.4 seconds 0-60. Dont' believe everything you see on the internet!
0-60 in 6.0 for a '95 taurus. Give me a break!

FWIW, the Taurus SHO engine is unique to the SHO, it never came in the Wagon or any other type of Taurus for that matter.

My brother in law bought a 98 or 99 Taurus SHO when new.I know it sounds great and has an okay ride.I am wondering if it could leave the Hemi trucks in the dust?Based on what I have read here I would think any Taurus could smoke a Hemi, even if it isn't a Taurus station wagon
