OHV 16V Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Neat little read with cool press photos from over the years. In light of the great discussion involving manual transmissions over in the GT350 thread, this is a good look back at those SHOs, as well as makes me want to see what the current SHO would be like hooked up to a 6-speed stick. And...

TomServo92 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I had a '95 SHO. It's still one of my favorite cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I had a '95. My ex talked me into trading it in on an Explorer for her around '00. Looking back, I should have kept the car and got rid if her. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a woman tries to talk you into trading for a vehicle you don't want, then it's time for her to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fgts Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Had 2 MTX SHOs. You can beat the hell out of the motor and it would ask for more. A few mods will dip a V6, 5-speed into the low 14/high 13s . Plenty of 2000-10' cars I've but to sleep in. I'll miss mines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What if the next words are "I'm pregnant?" Well, obviously, then it's time for THEM to go. PREMiERdrum, who loves his wife and children... Dearly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it! (happily married for 30 years next February. That came from a divorced friend) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thats why I waited so long to get married...plus my wife is a keeper...she let me keep my 2006 Mustang GT and keep the other spot in the garage for the 2013 SHO I got to replace it. Though I kid around about getting a 15+ Mustang...she doesn't want me to get rid of the older one LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerLS Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I had a '92 that I traded for a '95 (both MTXes). I almost traded the '92 for a '93 slushbox (lease return), but the dealership in OKC low-balled me so badly that I got up an walked out. (Sure, we'll sell you ours for over retail, but we won't even give you trade-in for your car. But we'll write you a check for it even if you don't buy ours!) I drove back to my normal dealership in Norman, and, within the hour, had a much better deal on a newer SHO with almost 30K fewer miles on the clock. I got a lot of fun miles out of that car. I ended up giving it to my brother when he replaced the roof on my house. He put another 100K miles on it, but ended up donating it to a local school when he had trouble finding a few replacement parts; after a few months of it sitting in the garage in pieces, his wife told him to fish or cut bait. Prior to that, he took the mill to a local machine shop to get the block cleaned up, and they said it was in such good condition that they could still see the crosshatching on the cylinder walls... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yamaha V6 was indestructible. Only major thing to do was shim the lifters at 100k miles. I had Borla exhaust, Koni adjustables and a chip on mine. Surprised many a Mustang GT at stoplights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Can somebody refresh my memory of what the tan guy means please. I forgot. That the thread has gone off on a particularly ridiculous tangent. Which is declared by posting a picture of a particularly ridiculous tan gent.
