the SHO has a curb weight of 4,368, so I was a smidge off on my estimate of 4500 (not by much), but 4368 is a boat by any calculation when an equivalent sized acura tl weighs 3950, a nissan infiniti g37x weighs 3869 (and thats heavy...).
and I agree, its 37k + tax, which comes to ~40k...most of us pay tax...
im not digging dirt, im shocked that this car can be so expensive and weigh so much and people are in awe of its "performance" specs?
in comparison to current offerings by various other manufacturers in the same price range. 400-500 lbs is a lot of weight, and for the same price point as the acura tl, infiniti g37, and even a subaru legacy spec b (3500lbs...so a whole 900 lbs less than the ford)...the performance on this ford is nothing amazing, and especially for its price point

The SHO has more power than my 7 series, while weighing about the same. I find my 7 series to be more than adequately fast, and I found that even the non-SHO version of the Taurus to be more than adequate.
And the three cars you listed are MID-SIZE cars not full sizers, which is why they weigh less. You might as well compare the three of them to a 7 series BMW. But oh, they don't compete.
