From R32 to SHO

[Rags]

Well...I miss the R32's musical exhaust and amazing steering but I Like the SHO in the SNOW. Part of the reason I went to FORD is that they did not accept Gov handouts. I also wanted to support the American Economy ...so here I am.

With 3 Teens the SHO is a better Family vehicle also....not a VAN ..thank God..and also it is very comfortable for the 100Miles per Day back and forth to work.

At one time I drove a Lexus LS-400 and I never thought I would say this...The Ford SHO is better in almost every way to the Lexus The only thing that the LS killed the Ford in was the quality of base ball stitched Leather ..but that is it.

Awsome! I wouldn't have traded an R32 for a SHO though. Just don't take the kids where ever you go!

R32 VW. One thing that amazes me is how the SHO gets as good as gas mileage as my little Red vw Rocket and weighs 1000 lbs more. The Power to weight ratio is a little higher on the sho and in a straight line it will win. The body roll is higher though.

One thing I noticed is that on the R32 if you accelerate out of the hole the back wheels lag behind the front...i.e the front slips first. This does not happen on the SHO.

FoSHO14, according to your signature, you've been having several cars that aren't even sold in America. How did you pull that off?
