So how do you feel about this?

[Ford Tempo Fan]

Alright for a two decade old Ford from the Last Frontier, or still just a failure?

I feel unworthy posting this topic amongst people with such desirable and expensive machines. :'(

I love both the Fox Body Mustangs and, of course, the Taurus. SHO or not, I dig the Bulls almost as much as the Tempo or Topaz. I think, and this is purely personal opinion, the Tempo looks better with its bold chrome grill and more formal, elegant lines. Plus, the Tempo could be had with all wheel drive.

Now drop in an SHO into an MTX-IV Tempo two door and you've got something that could possibly be quick.

Why do you care what other people think? It's your car and you seem to be in love with it. That's awesome. Everybody loves their own car (at one point) and share the same passion you do.

i would rock the shit out of an all wheel drive, if somebody says they dont like ur car, then they dont understand

I realize this, but the people who love their cars generally have better cars then I. I might actually have the least powerful car at TCG.

True stuff. I guess the Tempo is a piece of shit when compared to the pretty cars I see in the TCG banner at the top of my page, but I dunno. Tempo's have some funky/interesting attributes nonetheless.. I think so, at least.

@Importsnrice: The s00ls told me about TCG. He's my hero. If I can wash cars like he does, my life dream will be fulfilled.

My first car was an 89' Tempo with the 2.3L 4 Cylinder. It was slow as piss but I loved it and it had a floor shifter!

There's a guy in Quebec with a Mercury Topaz sporting a SHO drivetrain. Last I heard he was half way through adding a second engine to the rear of the car...

i'm down with curiously odd cars. awd tempo is cool. let me know when you go turbo.

Very nice.. I love my floor mounted shifter, but I'd love it even more if it were a manual (wrapped in real leather).

Regarding the SHOpaz, I haven't heard too much of him recently.. Got me thinking about about an SHO swap. There are a few beater second generation SHO Taurus' kicking around here. Could acquire one of them, borrow my friend's garage (he has an engine lift), toss in an SHO into a MTX-IV Tempo. The 1992-1994 Tempos used the exact same layout and transmission as the Taurus SHO. Theoretically an SHO swap would be incredibly simple (as far as engine swaps go). The 1992-1994 Tempos were basically the same as the Taurus SHO, minus the actual SHO. Much more lightweight, so I would assume an SHO-equipped Tempo would outrun a stock SHO Taurus.

lol oh memories
I use to ride a 93 green tempo years ago (no pics) ...I had a lot of fun memories in it but the car eventually crapped out so it was donated
