Does anyone know why my check brake light comes on when I accelerate hard? It did this on a different SHO that I owned as well.

half-way there, I think.
You need to top off the brake fluid in the master cylinder, it's a little low. It's not low enough to trigger the light just sitting, but under hard acceleration the fluid moves away from the float switch.

You may want to check all your brake pads - Low Fluid is typically an indication of worn pads.
