Just curious. I feel kind of strange because I don't want to mod my Taurus. I want to keep it 100% stock
What Kind Of Taurus Owner Are You?

No visual/aesthetic mods, but my car isn't exactly stock, either.
I chose the cool option. I'm into aesthetic modding that much, but I am into sound systems, which I figure are part of the cool option. I can swap sound equipment into a new car, expensive engine mods that don't yeild much gain I can't.
Huh? BMW is the benchmark for sports sedans. Which 4 banger is it you are speaking of (US market)? And the 530i (3.0 L engine, 225 Hp, 214 ft-lbs) manages to go 0-60 nearly 1.5s quicker than a Duratec Taurus with minimal raw power advantage and it weighs more. BMW's inline sixs are very smooth and versatile engines. Tell any M3 owner that their 3.3L inline 6 doesn't pack much heat...

I did a few mods to the GL, nothing too special. Just enough to make it a little better than a "regular" Taurus.
Now the SHO, it already is more than a "regular" Taurus, so not much will be done to it. Maybe a y-pipe eventually, but most if not all of the money I put into it will be for maintenance. I have always wanted a GenII SHO with a CincySHO cowl hood though......

I drive a Sable. It's already better than a Taurus. 
It's my daily driver, and it's 10 y/o, but I do make some modifications to it. Nothing too drastic. A cop speedometer, new head unit, a couple stickers (including a TCCA decal), a K&N air filter, and a few other minor things.

my 97 was Show and Go. until my hubbie killed it. ...but better things came out of it, like a 2004 Ses with the Duratec. Right now its all Show, until the warrenty is up, which will probably be by the end of the year with how many miles i rack up. than on to the Go part. My americanmotorsports chip is sitting near by awaiting to be reburned for the new car. i can't wait. B)

Functionality and performance. That is pretty much it. I prefer the feeling that I get when I drive a car rather than how it looks...
