Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO I agree, there are a lot of cars on here that my 1991 Ford Taurus SHO+ would destroy in a race. I mean come on they even have a SATURN on here!! And a Saturn is far from being a supercar!
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO uhuh. . .and a wannabe mustang grocery getter is a supercar?
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO i will tell u why the SHO isnt on this site....because it has that little blue oval on it....tehehehehehehe
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO This is a great car and I dont know what would win out of it and an SHO, but one thing is for sure----it may not win in a race but the car with the BLUE OVAL on it will outlast any SkyLine.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO this is a great car. nice and fast. a friend of mine used to own one.a good race for this besides a SHO would be a 94-95 T-Bird SC(another blue oval not on this website).
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO The SHO's a fine car if you like FWD torque steer. Makes you wan't to drive the thing backwards. Another fine piece of engineering by Ford. Saturn is rubbish as well.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO Quote from SHOboy I agree, there are a lot of cars on here that my 1991 Ford Taurus SHO+ would destroy in a race. I mean come on they even have a SATURN on here!! And a Saturn is far from being a supercar! The Grand Prix would smoke u like shit. SHO got nothing on it especially the 91.Only fords have cars that accelerate in like 8 1/2 seconds that are supposed to be sports cars like mustang. it may be 3.8 but still too slow for a light car. What kind of Sh*t is that when a Malibu can burn it.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO since we all talking trash on here: ill race your #$%#ing sho for slips. next time you come to FL bring the slip and lets see what you got. when i win, im gona let you keep your slip cause i dont even want that peice of shit and id feel bad selling it to someone. as for the mustang remark, i think that would be considerd a sports car, i think a gtp is more of a family car. try compairing the gtp to a t-bird. gee lets buy a ford, they dont last over 100K, they over rate there horse power, there slower than shit, and i dont feel like Fixing Or Repairing Daily! want a sports car buy a Camaro or T/A
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO The SHO has never been anything that would be fair to compare to the term "fast"... "Reliable" is also a word that may elude the car... That yamaha v8 SHO from 99 was a 3 minute time bomb... In theory, the SHO competes directly with the GTP, and that's not even fair... The pontiac goes beyond humiliating the SHO... The Thunderbird SC was a far better match for the GTP... either GTP or supercoupe is near 2 full seconds to 60 faster then the SHO... " they dont last over 100K" - Shutdown99 I have a 97 t-bird with 160k on it that has never been on a rack... I also have a 91 LeSabre that the odometer stopped turning at 212k miles 3 years ago that still goes strong, again rack free... A good portion of cars will last quite a while if you don't treat them like shit...
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO I own a 98 GTP sedan (stock) and, even though Ive never raced an SHO, Im pretty sure my car would beat it in a drag race. It has more torque and I believe it also has more horsepower. And its much cheaper.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO You are right my friend your GTP will smoke a sho!!! Just fact no bullshit.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO An SHO should be on this if it's suppose to compete with the GTP. Just because you don't like Fords, well that's not the point here that's just your opinion. Now back to the facts. The earlier years of the SHO were much better than the later years, not only in design but in performance as well. I have a 90 SHO and it's only 80lbs heavier than the 89 which was the fastest year 6.6 sec. I've gotten 6.7 sec 0-60 and 15.20 on the qtr mile, which IS faster than the GTP 0-60. It will be dead even on the qtr mile with the GTP's providing a decent driver. It will take an SC being that the fastest of them was in 95 at 7.0 sec 0-60. Also, the GTP does make more toque/hp than the SHO. Keep in mind that the SHO was naturally asperated without the supercharger only producing about 20 hp less in a 3.0 mind you that, and was made years before the 97 GTPs. You can't argue that this cars engine was way ahead of it's time. The top speed of the GTP is 126, I've had mine to 132 so far but had to slow down for a turn off. Here's good info on what you are trying to compare with. http://home.pon.net/hunnicutt/SHOpage.htm
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO I have owned both of this cars. A 93 SHO, and a 99 GTP. I currently own a my GTP. I can tell you from expierence, a GTP whould beat a SHO in a drag race. I ran a 15.34 in my stock sho, and a 14.79 in my GTP, with the only mod being Z rated toyo tires, But on the highway a sho will leave a GTP because of the gearing. I sold my SHO because the trans was starting to go and the thing used more oil than gas, and it only had 130 thousand on it! Ive never had any problems with my GTP and I love it. I ran a 13.96 with a 3.25 inch pulley, cold air intake chip and exhaust. I've beat GTs no problem. Although the SHO's yamaha 3.0 is a strong motor, its no match for the GTP's supercharged L67
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO I dont know where they got these stats but my stock GTP ran a hell of alot faster than a 14.2. My grandma could run a beter time than that in my car.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO Damn it I ment a 15.2. Since I've put a chip in my car I've had it to 140!
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO Your times are quicker than a stock SHO, thats for sure. The only thing I don't like about the GTPs is that they don't have a manual shift. I'm suprised they hold up that good.. Is there is limit to power? The SHO would be alot stronger than the GTP with the same supercharger though.
Re: Why is this car on here, and not a SHO the sho is a ford piece of junk, my wifes lexus will blow the doors of both cars the grand prix and the ford, but its not on the site. who cares. one thing is for sure even if a car has 1200 horsepower, if its name starts with probe escort or taurus, it doesnt belong on this site.
