most likely the the lincoln becAuse they do have more horse power but the sho does have a chance but if u had like a 90 sho then im almost positive the sho would give that ls a fight Actually even though the 2000 Lincoln has a 3.9 liter 257 HP engine and 5 speed transmission and weighs only about 100 lbs more than the 1996 Taurus, SHO, the Taurus stock does 1/4 mile in 15.7 seconds, the Lincoln stock does it in 16.0 seconds, the Taurus's top speed is 143 MPH, the Lincoln 140. So in spite of one less gear and about 22 less HP, the Taurus SHO is still faster both in the quarter mile and the top speed, and it is a hell of a lot nimbler. The Taurus does a better job of getting what power it makes to the wheels.
