so im on the freeway the other day and there was this taurus GTR!, i didnt know that these even existed, its crazy! is this some kind of nissan/ford colaboration. damn thing was fast! i wanted him to stop so i could ask him about it but he just took off, there were like flames shooting out the tail pipes and stuff, i think it was turbocharged. plus it had the hub caps taken off which made it look really cool. have any of you seen these or heard of them because i am buying a new car soon and i want to test drive one so i dont miss out on anything.

wth? did it just have some emblems or something? could have just gutted the exhaust system and added a supercharger or something to it. dunno though, doubt there was ever a taurus gtr in the skyline gt-r sense but wasn't there a mustang gt-r? so maybe that's where the guy got the idea to get the emblem? lol

As far as I know, the top performance Taurus was the SHO. Damn nifty car with a rippin Yamaha engine. 220-235 HP over the model years. 3400 pound car though. Crappy stock brakes, but interchangeable with some serious Ford hardware.

What you probably encountered was a transplant.

I beleive he is being sarcastic. Ford never made a GTR taurus. What that person has done, is gone to autozone and bought a GTR sticker, for about $5. Said person has then went and put that sticker on his or her moms car or by chance their own.

C'mon guys you have to get more experience in Rice.

chances are it was a ford taurus SHO. it came with a 3.0 high output v6 that was made by yamaha and then later on it had a V8. a fairly quick car with early models running 15.1 out of the factory. I have discovered the only person to be duped by rice tags. I'm gonna make my S13 a type ARRRRRR

GT-R emblem on sale at your local discount auto parts store for a whopping $12.95. LoL There was never and will never be a colaberation between Ford and Nissan. Ford and Mazda are in cahoots with eachother. Next ime you see the guy with the hybrid stop him and give him a shoulder to cry on and let him know he need some serios phycological help. :)

good call on the quest/villager. It bet the Taurus hybrid was just about as much fun as those minivans.

How funny.. He must be in the same crowd as the Mustang GT I saw the other day with a huge red "R" after the GT emblem.
