The SHO, though it no longer has the commanding lead in the sports sedan market that it did in the late eighties/early ninties, is still one of the most remarkable cars for the price available anywhere. Plus, you get to rub shoulders with all the nice folks on SHOtimes. :-)

Braking distance, 60 to 0 mph 168 ft.
Interior Noise 45 dBA idle, 71 dBA@70 mph
.81g's doesnt seem too bad on the handling side of things, neither does pulling in low 15's for a late 80's early 90's FF
