Friend says he can take me in 1999 taurus se
I have a friend i work with who has an exaust and intake on his 1999 taurus se. This makes me laugh. So when we get a chance i'll tell ya'll how bad i smoked him. I'll probilby have my intake done by that time anyways, and that will just add to his disappointment. Anyone got any specs on the 1999 taurus se?

Be careful. You might be surprised at how close it will be.
Particularly if you don't have a smaller pulley and some mods.
You will probably take him for the first 60 feet then watch out.
His car will do 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds if it'* a stock automatic.
I'm confident you can do it.
Go for it.

There is no such thing as a Taurus SE(atleast not until 2000). Its a Taurus GL or LX. The GL has a 3.0 with 145 horsepower. The LX has the 200-horsepower Duratec V6.
The GL does the...
0 to 60 mph 8.8 sec.
1/4 mile (E.T.) 16.7 sec
And LX
0-60 (sec): 8.1
Quarter mile (sec/mph): 16.1/89
So you can see if it is a LX and not a GL you might have some competition.. But The GL you will totally smoke.

As much as I hate ford I must admit the newer Taurus'* are actually quite quick. I got smoked easily by one in my LeSabre I had it floored and that Taurus SES passed me like i wasn't even moving. it sucked bad. I don't know if the SE'* are that fast, but my LeSabre ran about 9.2 0-60 and that car absolutely killed me! Even worse, it was an old guy driving it.
