Harumph!
It may have a one off bumper, but that is still a SLO opening.
And x 3 about how it had 350hp. Still a cool car, and I'm glad someone who owned it finally is on SHOforum.
And I always wondered what a Hushpower would sound like on a V8SHO. Thanks! Sounds good

a place in cali called finishlinewest fromerly known as something else took the car in 99 and juiced it up. They lowered it with ford racing springs (1 of 6 sho's ever to have them), they put a boomtube exhaust on it and made a spoiler custom to actually create downforce. The engine and transmission were taken out and sent over to japan, the engine was rebuilt with high performance extras and balanced to substain 14,000rpms, the tranny was also built pretty heavy duty too, i wish i knew more details. They took the car out on the track and it did 172mph with adjustments to the spoiler andy said that it made 207mph. it set a record at willow springs race track for one of the fastest front wheel drive cars. It even still has the anchors for the racing seatbelts. It also has a breakout box in the rear for messing with the computer. The car was all customized in the roush racing faucility in cali. Heres a link to what the car was....

as for why it isn't that fast now, i believe that shannon who was the guy before me. ran NOS in it or something and somehow blew it up, i don't know really why the engine was trashed or where it went. could have been a cam failure. But as for now it just has the stock engine and most of it is pretty beat up, the stickers are peeling, there are scratches and rust under the hood pins, which i can't figure out because i was pretty sure sho's had aluminum hoods. but in the spring im hopiong to have enough money to fix up the front bumper and get it painted all nice, maybe a color change though. Im thinkin it might look cool in black...

Well that car was on eBay a while back and IIRC it was cam failed.

lol i got it off ebay, it wasn't cam failed, it was that the cams needed to be welded, the front were done and the rears hadn't been, it was half torn apart and didn't run, we took it to doug from performance plus and he welded the rear cams and it fired right up, one coil was busted, he fixed that and i drove it home to milwaukee, about an hour away. Now you got me scared cam failed cars can't run can they?
NebraskaSHO
Harumph!
They run, then KABOOM... expense follows...
Old friend of mine had a 96 that his dad thought I was joking when I said the cams could slip. Well about 4 months later they slipped. He sold it to a co worker who welded that broke cam and it too, broke about 5 minutes after he started it.

well i got the car with 111xxx miles on it thats when i had the cams welded, and its got like 115xxx on it now so i don't think that the cams failed. i redline it a lot and it sounds good, no weird noise in the engine, keeps pushing a running lean check engine light on it. but i think it has to do with the egr or fuel system...

1 guess who stuck the beanie baby in the bumper. 
Is it still slow? I was when Shannon Had it. Nice peice though but I would restore it back the wat that andy Made it.
And the HP claims are Phony. it has ALWAYS been a STOCK SHO with added front bumper, the add IN wing, and the breakoutbox in the trunk.

Did it at least have some decent swaybars and brakes on it?

Not low anymore
I didn't know the details of the car, and thought he just put junk on it. Now I know, and I.
Then you shall be forgiven.
I gotta admit though, that 14,000rpm thing was pretty good.

i dunno what shannon did to it. its still slow, it doesn't seem to have much umph its a lil quirky but im trying to smooth out the wrinkles. Im pretty sure it HAD 350 hp. but shannon did something to it to screw it up. it did have baer brakes not sure about the rest of the suspension. Andy Cohen down at performance plus was the guy that told me about that car. He seems like an ok guy so i don't know why he would lie to me about the hp. or on the website. anyways it doesn't matter, it doesn't have that power in it now so who cares...
if you really wanna know i'd go on the website and contact andy and see what they did to the engine...He didn't gimme the specifics...

Yeah, sure. Maybe 350hp with a 120 hp shot of nitrous.
