o Relatively high revving engine.
o Uncommon intake manifold design that delivers that extra kick when the
secondaries open up around 4K.
Recently I've driven a Mustang GT, Infiniti G35 6MT, Pontiac GTO and a
2006 BMW 330i (automatic). These cars are all nice in their own way.
Most redline around 6500 RPM and don't feel the same way the SHO does.
It's like you get withdrawals when you put your foot into the gas; when
you don't feel the surge midway through the climb you feel like
something's missing.
