those are pretty impressive numbers. i'm curious about your taurus colin. they are still front drivers, right ? what is the torque steer like under full throttle with that kind of horsepower ?
Doug, They are classified as awd -- but biased toward the front. I'm memory serves 40% goes to the rear when needed. When not in drag mode it serves as a front driver for reasonable fuel economy.
Torque steer is noticeable but no too intrusive. IMHO well controlled and quite controllable by the driver.
For a big car, it's not too bad at all and well worth a look if in the market for a big sedan.
It does, I'm sure, fall way short of any of our 'vettes in the handling department (no surprise) ....
To its credit, it aims at a completely different demographic (good thing), and it's a comfortable, 5 place, sporty sedan, with 4 doors, a trunk and long trip capabilities. It's taken over duty for the Crown Vic and Grand Marquis which, to their credit, were bigger and V8 powered. (tho dinosaurs by comparison).
My Dad was a Ford guy (mostly) and he'd have loved this thing even more than I do. I wish he were here to see it. He would have been impressed as I'm sure many of you would be.
