Why, you ask? I think the SHO engine is a lot more fun than a plain V8. I
love driving my SHO! It's more fun than my LS V8. The LS is faster, handles
better, and is smoother, but it just doesn't compare to the SHO for fun and
thrills. The Yamaha just sounds -so- good and the revs develop so quickly.
I just get a big smile on my face everytime I get in the SHO, something
about that engine. (until the repair bills roll in that is... what a
freaking money pit this car is!!!!)
Same goes for the '96 T-bird V8 I had until the LS.... smooth, fast, but
not fun like the SHO is.
