Yes, there is hope for the SHO in STX. ;)

PaulTAutoX races his '92 SHO in STX. He has been doing it for years, and has trophied in a number of local clubs (Bay Area), and he has even trophied at the National level in STX.

He runs coilovers, Koni's, '96 brakes, Quaife, Y-pipe, Yokohama's . . . everything that is STX-legal.

Here is his web page that goes into the details about his SHO - http://www.calweb.com/~pault/BaySHO/PTSHO.htm

Rules for autocross mods in SCCA are like your girlfriend. If she doesn't explicitly say you can do it, then unfortunately you can't.

stx is cool, but CP is were it's at for SHOs in my opinion.

Well I'm looking for a first gen sho, just for track duty.aka track whore. I'm looking at the rules and reading them.

What's the diff between stx vs cp?

So what the said you could put miss piggy on a hollywood diet. 2550 or some where around that with driver?

Good luck getting a SHO down that light with the driver.

Quaifes are no longer made for the SHO, but there might be a few floating around here and there.

Those weights are without the driver. My C Prepared '91 SHO is around 2750 right now (no driver). Once I replace the glass with lexan and totally gut the bumpers and remove all the unnecessary electrical, I'm pretty sure it will be close to the 2500 lb. range. I finally bought a diesel truck so I'll be trailering it to events from now on.

If you are going to build a C Prepared SHO, make sure you get a 1st Gen WITHOUT a sunroof. If I could do it all over again, I probably would have done it with an '89 (no ABS, no air bag, no cr@p).

Yep I agree with that.

In STX the SHO can potentially finish at the top of the class but it will never be the fastest time of the day. Well, I should never say 'never', but it's highly unlikely. There's always someone on R comps who will be faster. (Unless it's raining. . .)

If you want to see how fast the SHO can go, using nearly any means possible, then CP is where it's at.

Dang miss spelled quailfe. Ummm don't hurt me.


Will I be ok without one? That's until I can hunt one down. How does the trans hold up? Both autoxing and roadracing without one?
