Since my last thread did so well “what do you like about your car”, I thought I’d post this one. Again I have a 02 GTP 1. bad tint job on the passenger side and rear passenger side windows, looks good untill you really get close to it and notice th bubbles and scratches. (thanks for nothing eclips tinting) 2. HUD dims on occasion for no reason. 3. Very minor rust in the rear wheel wells 4. Boring int/ext. Hopefully white gauges will help spruce up the int a little along with a set of pillar gauges. The ext will look better with new rims and spoiler but all in all this car doesn’t turn heads with its looks. 5. Sometimes the car stalls on a cold start. 6. Sometimes the car has to rev itself up for about 10 secs on start up. ---

1. Constantly failing altanators 2. Prone to breaking transmissions. 3. Need stronger brakes. 4. Very front heavy and nobody makes springs to account for that. 5. Constantly answering the question. Why a taurus? ---

I wish that basic mods (I,E,H)made a difference in HP. Its hard to get power out of the without boost. I guess the rear end could be stronger…but I would need boost for that to be an issue. Other then that, i’m pretty happy with it. Of course there are things that I would want to do to it, but overall no complaints. ---
