[Shotimes] 11.87 second SHO...

[Ron Porter]

FWIW, I have had this "what if" discussion with a few folks over the years,
but if I had any interest in a 12.50-or-better street/strip machine, I would
use an automatic transmission. This is in ANY car, including the SHO.

Especially with a blower car, a nice beefy ATX might be the way to get some
dependable times.

There are a few "phantom" 11 sec SHO's out there, which amaze me, since all
the guys I know of that have the potential power to run one keep ripping 3rd
gear to shreads.

In theory I think josh's powerplant in my 89 might could turn an 11.9 or so,
but it's hard when you tear up a gear-box every pass :)

no way a n/a SHO with cams would ever run 11's, or 12's for that matter.
unless it was like the old beater 89 I had :)
