Fusion Sport Review. Return of the real SHO!

[BOT_ROCKET]

Here's a pretty good, realistic review of the new FuSpo. There are no hard #s yet, unfortunately, but this review seems to fit my opinion nicely.

This article kiinda takes a jab at the SHO, which everybody makes out to be some big wallowing pig. I know it's a bit bigger than the Fusion, but it can't be THAT bad, can it?

Oops, I posted a new thread about the C&D article...mods can delete it.

Similar times to C&D's test of the 2013 SHO.  Compare both test sheets, they're both close.

Done.  Z

These are good numbers.  Look at that curb weight!  These acceleration numbers are quite a bit stronger than I have seen elsewhere.  Makes me a little bit skeptical but they really are in line with what you would expect with 380 ft/lbs of torque.

C/D TEST RESULTS:


Curb weight: 4128 lb
Zero to 60 mph: 5.1 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 13.3 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 24.7 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.8 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.9 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 3.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.7 sec @ 101 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 131 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 178 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad*: 0.84 g

Really interested to see times with a tune.

Makes me want to see times for an MKZ or Continental with the 3.0.
