(the driver) must declare a vehicle speed category for the round.  Vehicle speed categories for the Taurus SHO include: stationary, alley 20(2), street 50(5), highway 150(15), and all-out 200(20).  The numbers that follow each vehicle speed category are the number of 5' squares the vehicle may move each round.  The numbers in parentheses are the number of squares the vehicle may move during a car chase.  Each round, the driver may choose to maintain the vehicle's speed, or go one speed category faster or slower than the vehicle's speed the previous round.  A stationary vehicle can proceed to alley speed in either forward gear or reverse.  Please see Table 5-13: Vehicle Speeds and Modifiers, pp 156, for more information.  If you do not have access to a hardcopy of the d20 Modern Core Rulebook, <a href="http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/resources/systems/pennpaper/modern/smack/vehicles.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> is a link to the d20 Modern SRD (some but not all of the vehicle information is included in the SRD).[/sblock][sblock=Taurus SHO]The Taurus SHO is a luxury sports sedan.  It seats five, can haul cargo weighing up to 4300 pounds (including passengers), has trunk space of 20 cubic feet, gets 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.  The SHO has Initiative -2, the maximum number of squares it can cover in 1 round at character scale is 200 squares.  The maximum number of squares it can cover at chase scale is 20 squares.  The SHO grants a +0 to maneuver on Drive checks made by its driver.  It has Defense 8, Hardness 5, 34 hp, normally requires Lic (+1) to operate, and has a purchase DC of 32.
