Video-Turbo Ford SHO's Side-by-Side Racing

That is like me saying the SHO is a great car & never drive, ride or own one.

Or it's like saying a SHO sucks when you have zero experience with them. Seems to me 115mph would hand you your ass in any kind of race.

I just bought a Regal today and I am ashamed at the way some of you are acting.

NO REASON to break balls when someone with obvious skills comes here to talk cars.

Cut the sh*t guys, these cars will run away from you on the highway. Don't be obtuse.

Light to light TRs own EVERYTHING. On a top speed run we own nothing. It's all about what you want in a car.

Stop flaming these guys, 400hp is a fast ride any way you cut it. And some of the flamers can't keep up in the ONLY race they would be competitive.

I never said a SHO sucks so don't put words in my mouth!

The Movie sucks. Any moron can play with a vid camera & pretended they are JOE cool To top it off those morons did it on a busy highway. Great promo to getting killed.

& 115 is not that fast. Even my granny olds can do that.

Bull. You know I am talking about 115 in the quarter, I can play the semantics game too.

Your car has NO chance in any race, yet you talk sh*t. turn a wrench before you open your mouth.

Tom

I bought this car to be KING of the street. Not to be all talk, no walk. Keep that thing in the garage, and talk about the potential.

Like all the words you put in the SHO guys' mouths? About them talking **** and not respecting turbo Buicks?

You are one dense mofo. Here, I have a few more straws you can desperately grab for so you can keep trying to make some arbitrary point in this thread.

 

[Pronto]

The video stinks. Can't tell if they are going 30mph or 80mph just to get caught in traffic or do a flyby. No speedo shots or other refernces to actual speed. PLEASE
Although I don't really care much for Ford or SHOs I understand that you guys have spent time and money to modify them. Fine. My honest experience with them is I'm not impressed. Maybe I haven't come across SHOs that are modded as much as yours are. The last SHO I saw running (my neighbors is a nice yard ornament) had a young whory looking mom with a butt hanging out of her mouth in it with a rugrat in the back childseat. No threat to my Maxima. Sorry but that's my experience. 115 mph is not a big deal these days. My wifes Subaru can do it (obviously not in the 1/4 mile) so can my Maxima. Lot of new performance cars have a limiter set at 145mph or so. Great now where can I do 145 mph safely? NOT on these crappy roads. Between traffic and potholes forget it. Besides I like my drivers license. It's time you for you guys to go back to your forums and leave us alone.

Will do.

The offer to ride in my SC SHO still stands for anyone in the DFW area.

Thanks,

What the hell are you talking about? My first posts in this thread were very on topic. Go re-read them.

Then it turned into the mess that it is now. I'm as much a post whore as littlesixsteve is.

That's some funny $^it! Yeah, those Yamaha engines are nice and all, but there backed up by a Ford tranny! Who would spend the money and time on such a car? It's a taurus for pete's sake. I don't care how much HP they make 13's in the 1/4 is aweful. Some people just amaze me.

The motor is backed up by a mazda tranny not ford .I own three sho's and now I want a Grand national to add to my collection of toys but front wheel drive cars have trouble getting traction off the line that is true .but if you think the car in the vid is not fast you are very mistaken that car would give any grand national a run for it's money if not hand him his a$$ I do not do any street racing as I feel it puts others in danger (cross traffic) and only will race on the open highway just for safety reasons . but take a grand national off the quarter mile and throw it on a track with turns and the SHO will kill it like it does most anything else .we at shoforum do not bash other cars as we more than likely either own other cars or our friends do but there is nothing more satisfying than stomping a camaro and have them look at you with that oh my god I got beat by a taurus look .but I want a rear wheel drive car next so the grand national or a monte carlo SS is what I am looking for any opinions on wich has the most potential?

this thread sucked 6 months ago and it sucks now!


DIE DIE DIE


why did yuo bring it back? leave the bvllsh!t drama on the ford boards please.

Another former SHO owner weighing in...

I too owned a '91 SHO which I bought new in May 1991. For you SHO guys, it wasn't a Plus Edition but was nonetheless equipped with the rod shifter and fiberglass "dome" hood. At the time there wasn't much in the way of go fast parts, but the addition of a custom exhaust, cold air I fab'd, bigger MAS, chip and u/d pullies seemed to help. It pulled very hard in the upper RPMs and was a hoot to drive. My three highlights of SHO ownership were (a) trying to explain what the car was to the shocked CHP officer that had pulled me over after watching me enter I5 at Katella and get on it, (b) the cool group of SHO fanatics that used to meet (I think they still do?) at Vadim's SHOShop in Huntington Beach, and (c) driving the absolute crap out of my SHO at 5AM on Christmas Morning/December 25th 1991 from Morro Bay northward on Pacific Coast Highway all the way to Monterey (a very curvy route), and not seeing one car the whole time. I was using both lanes, doing 4-wheel drifts, the whole nine yards. I hadn't had that much fun since my old '70 Porsche 914-6! When I finally pulled into a Chevron station in Monterey I was shaking so bad I nearly fell while trying to get out of the car, and the attendant asked if I was okay ("Oh yeah...!")

I would probably still own the car had it not been for that fateful day in mid-1994 when, while driving the SHO to meet my wife at her work, I passed Beach Oldsmobile/Mazda's used car lot, and saw a GN sitting out front...the SHO soon departed, and that GN is still with us.

At the last Street Legal Drags event that were held in November at CA Speedway, four SHOs showed and parked near my pit stall-- a stocker, two V8 models and a blown '92. All very cool guys; unfortunately, the blown SHO snapped an axle on his first pass.

'87 GN; high 10's...finally!
