My point exactly. Ive said multiple times the SHO is gorgeous, and quick for what it is. But not a car that you buy to go fast, which is what the argument was. And true, a good tune and you're looking at over 400hp, but the torque and power that an equal or higher V8 has isn't there; that is the biggest problem. Plus, if I had a V8 mustang and my buddy with an SHO got a tune and is now equal to me, what am I going to do?.... Get a tune, and the SHO has the same problem all over again. Anything someone says they're going to do to their car, the other car can turn around and do the same thing. Either way, like I said, the SHO would need close to 100 horsepower more than the V8 mustang to (maybe) beat it. The lack of torque and power is what keeps it from being a "Fast Car"
And yes the charger HEMI destroys the SHO. Big power difference due to a much bigger engine. This will be the case with any V8 equal or more HP than the SHO. Just fact.
Warranty voiding ends the whole debate alone. If you want a fast car with no protection of a warranty then save yourself about 32,000 and buy a 95 Trans Am or an Iroc, youll have the same speed and more power. (Good luck with an technological car like the SHO with no warranty....)
