What was the G35's time 0 to 60?  Was it 5.2 secs or so?  Comparing the
SHO to a Charger Hemi or 300c or Maxima would of been better.
It's kinda odd comparing it to the G37.  The SHO is a huge car.   Grin

I've seen one about 3 weeks ago.  The Taurus makes other cars
look small.  If the G35 is that fast, then I'm sure the G37 will
be just as fast with good driver.   Grin

+1
I thought Taurus was FWD
If so, it should have been put against Maxima at least

What the heck...

MotorTrend 0 to 60 for the SHO was 5.2 seconds.  Not bad for this huge
car and AWD.   Smiley

At first I thought the comparison was strange, then thought again. I think ford really are targetting that market segment (G37, IS, CTS) with the Taurus SHO.

Unfortunately, it looks like they need to go back to the drawing board. The car is all over the place slalom!

I'd also dare to say the G37 loaner I had, which had never seen anything but 87 octane, was quicker than 5.6~ for the 0-60...
