Hello - moving to Florida and don't have the space for my 1992 SHO. It started life as a "beater" from carmax with 84k miles on it but got hooked and slowly the performance sickness took over and I ended up with a built motor, ported heads/intake, cams, powerdyne supercharger kit from shoshop and vadeem, eibach springs, koni adjustable struts, electromotive tech 3 standalone engine management, cross drilled cadmium plated rotors, rebuilt transmission with quaife limited slip, cat back exhaust, fresh hand reupholstered (leather) front seats (all bladders/electric motors work) seat heaters added, subframe connectors, etc. etc. Over $50k invested (I mentioned sickness right?) but looking for $3500. Car is on the road and running strong - dyno had it at 327 at the wheels (tuned at HP works in Colonial Beach VA). It's got 115k miles on it now and it's not a perfect car - can be finicky at times but handles really well and pulls very strong - torque steer is pretty bad so not a car for kids! I posted a bunch of pictures on flickr that show the good and the bad: https://flic.kr/ps/3bN3cK but mostly everything is good. The bad includes torn hood liner when a belt blew, original back seats showing weathering, paint needs some work (sat outside at Protech Automotive in Gaithersburgh, MD for years while the company struggled to keep alive - they did all the mechanical work), airbag light is on solid for the past 3-4 months but since I don't drive it often I haven't looked into it (registered as historic do I don't have to worry about emissions etc.) I still have the stock wheels that do have some paint flaking but not bad. There's a dragstrip near my house and I ran a 15.4 at 94 stock, then got the supercharger kit and ran a 13.95 at 107, and then got the rest of the car done. I haven't been back to the strip but it has about 100 more HP than it did with just the supercharger. These cars are more of a road course car anyway. It'll come with an old dell laptop (has a native serial port which electromotive recommended for their tech3 computer) with all the tunes over the years. If anyone is interested my email is [email protected] (car was at the shop so long while being built lead to the email - no sho ken).
Gosh over a decade ago, it seems ...
