Thread: gtp vs sho

Yea they are, and yea what the hell was i thinking of course they dont have any rivals, someone please slap me! lol

Well i have seen a bunch of them around here, but their all the older generation i never seen a newer sho. Well i guess they figure their fords and they just take them to the crusher.

Oh ford's with yamaha engines btw

What year did gtp's come out with a decent supercharged engine.?.. what year did ford come out with something that could beat that supercharged car to this day? Props to ford for at least starting something in 4 door performance.

97 GTP/M90 , or the mid 90's bonnevilles with the series I/M62 blower.

I thought the SRT4's were close competition......a couple years ago.

I have yet to see a SHO since I bought my GTP back in 03.

I don't know if I want to put mine in storage or not, Its supposed to sell right now for 5-6 grand, I dropped the price down to $4,000 and no bites yet...

I've got plenty of storage, its just that I got so much maintenance done to it now I don't want to see it sit for years...

Are the older generation 5spd shos the same performance as the newer generation v8 shos, i know the knewer shos only had auto's like a 98 for example. I could of bought a 94 blue sho in like mint condtion for 1200 bucks with a brand new tranny but needed it to be installed but i allready bought my gtp. I would like to have a sho cause i think it would be a good beater car, no offence sho owners.

The 5 speed v6 SHO's can beat the V8 SHO's. The 96-99 SHO's were all automatic and V8. The reason why the MTX V6's could beat the V8's is when the V8's came out, they reworked the design of the intakes, the original intake mirrored after the v6's intakes boasted something near 300hp which was too much for the tranny they were going to put in them so they reworked the intake to make less hp for fear of replacing a bunch of tranny's or the money to beef it up. There is a website about this somewhere, but its been so long I can't remember it...

They are fun cars, first time I ever was in a car that did a 30 ft burnout outta the high school parking lot was when my buddy had a automatic SHO v6. I was hooked.

Hahaha niice. Im not really a ford fan, but they defently have good performance ill admit that. Theirs also a big thing about the gtp vs the ford super coup.

Don't know if its rivalry or not, but twice a year we have our club clash against the Ford Thunderbird SC club. Its alot of fun.



Just a few pics, we have some track vids on our home site though

Who was your friend ? GP Pimp?

who wins the most of the races seriously does gp's win more or does the sc's

fastest SC I've seen run was a friends stocker...went 14.9 launching it at 6K. next pass he broke his rearend mount........

Most of the races the GP's win, honestly its not that close. There are a couple fast ones here though, if you consider a mid 12 fast. We actually bracket race so in the three clashes that I have been too, the SC's have won two, and the GP's won the most recent.

thats pretty cool!
