LMFAO :stupid: i did the same thing 2day LOL

[formula4speed]

Not that I like fords, but my last daily driver was a 97 escort and I traded it in with 130k miles still ran like a champ with nothing but regular maintenance. I hated it, but it ran good and got 30 mpg.

<---- secretly wants a SHO as daily driver :oops:

Actually it was a 5-speed, never came with 6-speed.

I don't know if I buy all this ford crap stuff. I think they parallel GM too much in everything but I will admit that was pretty funny.
Have you eaten a ford lately?

Not that I'm aware of. Just asked my friend who is a HUGE SHO nut, said nope, he wishs. He's on his 3rd SHO, his cousin has one and 3 of his friends own them. I've worked on SHOs for a while now, can't tell you how annoying these cars really are other than they have a 5 speed and a really nice engine. Everything else is BLAH. Front brakes are 10.2" on some years.

**** the SHO, get an Impala SS

Hmm... nothing against Imps (good friend has a 96 too) but a.) they don't come with manual transmissions as an option b.) they are 800lbs heavier than the SHO c.) they cost at least twice as much as an SHO
The good thing about the Imp vs the SHO is it's reliability. Those SHOs just fall apart around the yamaha engine. It's kind of funny because my friend with the SHO used to talk about how unreliable my car was yet mine was drivable and affordable no matter what broke, lol.
The Imp is just such a heavy car :( . At least it's wide and has a v8 :) .
p.s. I've been in a hot cammed T56 hopped up impala... very fun car but typical GM build quality (rattle here, rattle there, rattles everywhere :x )

[BigAls87Z28]

Ahh...
Its a Taurus vs an Impala...SS owns the SHO 10 times over.
No matter how much hp it has...its still FWD, and its still a Taurus.

:hail: Thanks boss. Here is a man who knows true quality. But if I ever did get owned by a Taurus SHO, I'll hook up my car on pure principal. I can't have that ****.

[SpeakersGoBoom]

Imp, heres the tought question: Which would you rather have (and you have to choose 1)

1) A Ford SHO
2) A old Honda Accord
3) A Loaded gun

:lol:

:lol:
Depends on which gun. If it was big and expensive I'd use option 3) to own the guy driving the imp. Else I'd take 1) because it's a fun car.
Let's see, imp vs SHO, stock vs stock SHO's are just as fast in the 1/4 and the 0-60 even with wrong wheel drive. I personally would rather own an imp but they aren't cheap! The SHO's can be had for as much as a used Honda Civic so which would you rather have, an SHO or a Civic, hmm....

Thats funny as ****. Again my opinion is skewed so I'll try to be fair as possible. The taurus SHO is a good economic quick sedan and I don't doubt that. What I am trying to get at is that besides the weight advantage and the available manual, I thinks the impala is a better overall car. A lot of u's care mostly about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times but in my opinion there is more to cars. Try riding in both of these cars. The last thing im gonna mention is take a look at car shows and note the prevelance of imps vs. SHO's, who grabs more of the spotlight. Even if they are faster, ill still take my car over a SHO any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Anyone who has ever rode in my car help me out here.

P.S. If anyone ever gets the chance to own a SHO please do it for the B-bodies.

[Tru2Chevy]

Scott, I've ridden in a few SHO's and they dont' have anything on the Pimpala except price.....but that doesn't excuse you for not buying the FLP long tubes :P

- Justin

[jims69camaro]

to those that want am impala but don't like the price tag, just go get yourself a 9C1 caprice and change a coupla things on the body, tweak the interior, get the rear quarter window, upgrade the wheels and tires, change the badges and then get it painted. same car. cheaper.

You got me there Justin. I need till the summer to square everything anyway as far as getting a job. At that point I can upgrade my car.

FYI Earlier in the thread I said if anyone could own a SHO i meant beat them in a race

*cough sleeper cough*
I think they're cool cars but I already choose option 1) from earlier, still have a bullet.... wanna take this outside :)
Really though, other than it being a ford body, everything else is rather unique. It's the top of the line of that model just like the Impala SS is with the b-body's, and the 454 SS was the same for the trucks. SRT-# is Dodges top of the line sport models.
I hope you were kidding because even though I don't like the cars personally you can NOT deny the facts. Facts that make them cooler than your average 4 door sedan. No offence to the imp but the difference between the imps and the 9C1's is like next to nill from a performance stand point. Look at the SHO vs the Tortoise, lots of differences mechanically, that's what makes them cool, not their facad.

I agree that there is not much difference between the 9C1 caprice and an imp, ill give you that. In fact the 9C1 is alittle quicker. However, I don't agree that my car is an average 4 door sedan. If you owned one you would know that. I can't tell you how many conversations i've had with random people inquiring about my car and how unique it looks. Thats at least what makes the car cool to me.

You people are too biased. I've been there, felt that, got over it when I looked under the hood and got the chance to drive both more than once. I'd rather have an imp but I could own a SHO for less and have more money for my f-body :) . Like over $5g's more!
I've been looking at cars as cool when they are smooth sleepers. If it's got a cool powertrain and drivetrain, big tires, and can suprise the crap out of the unsuspecting then that's cool too.
The best part about the SHO is that it isn't powered by ford! This is why I can't stand generalized comments about how much they stuck. Compare them to any other 4 door sedan and considering the car they're rather impressive to say the least. A friend had only a trash can cold air on his 89 and he ran a 14.7 then a 14.6 then a borken halve shaft, lol. That's quick for a wrong wheel drive stock heavy 4 door no matter what you consider cool. The same can be said about the evo, I think they're rather ugly but the coolness factor is there even though I wouldn't own one!
