Default E85 Taurus SHO vs E85 WRX Wagon

I just thought I'd post a video of the car that I will be selling in favor of an S2000. I was just out to get some videos with the newer exhaust setup and my buddy ran with me on one of my pulls. Vortech's just get faster the higher you rev it out!

Quick notes on mods:

1995 Taurus SHO - Forged 3.2L, Vortech T-trim @ 16 PSI, Water-meth injection, 3" exhaust, E85
2006 WRX Wagon - VF39, STi TMIC, External Wastegate, Equal Length Headers, CAI, 3" exhaust, E85, 21 PSI

Haha. It's not bad for an old Taurus. I tuned both of these cars and to give an idea of how quick that WRX really is:

Since I'll be freeing space for the S2000 by getting rid of these (10.5 yeas is long enough), I'll have my STi for the straight line speed (will constantly fight the urge to boost the S2000 as I want it to be a "reliable track car). It actually should be a good bit faster than my SHO when I take some time to tune it and up the boost to 25 PSI. It's been sitting for weeks since I've been driving this or the DD everywhere.

So you had the sickness too. This was my first, but I had a 92 as a daily years ago. I've built quite a few boosted SHO's, one of which made mine look slow. Also did a rear-mount turbo with a buddy on his car. That car was very driving.

Ooh yes I had the bug alright, never like you though. None of mine ever saw boost, I'm jealous. I'm trying to picture where the rear mount turbo fit, that engine bay was tight.

Ah a remote setup, in the other post it says rear mount. Lol, that's a cool setup!
