GS vs SHO and STEALTH

[SleeperGS]

The SHO from a dead stop did ok I guess. I took it by several car lenghts and then it was an afterthought. The Stealth was a standard shift and I......well lets just say.....93 Octane @350+ per gallon.....I will never waste my time with one of these things again. just food for thought. Of course my car runs in the mid-to-low 13's as well.

What year SHO was it...was it the later V8 SHO or earlier V6 SHO?

[Mike Kopstain]

Or perhaps the twin turbo, 365hp SHO!

This.

If you race a twin turbo stealth you wont be wasting your time.

If you race a twin turbo stealth you wont be wasting your time.

Pretty decent chance it would be the other way around.

If the OP is only running mid to low 13's, and he put "several cars" on this sho, then I doubt it was a new one. A bone stock 10 sho should edge him out in the 1/4, needless to say, he isn't going to be putting cars on one. I read about them dipping into the 12's with just a tune regularly.

[JoRoW99]

I thought the TT's run 13's. i think i would be close, if they go from a roll.

chalk this one up to guys that cant drive against a guy in a 13 second car that can. you and somone that knows how to drive in any sho and you wont be pulling car lengths, nice story anyway

I don't know about how a roll would go, I don't know the OP's trap speeds. Maybe he could pull one on the highway, I don't know. I'm just talking about 1/4 mile, in which case the new shos run mid to low 13's as well. Although I've seen more low 13 time slips then mid 13 slips from sho owners.

When i said this i was talking about the TT stealth

[Slowpoke]

oh my bad

Stock a TT stealth is a mid to high 13 sec car. They mod pretty easy. A sho other then the latest ones were not really that quick and are easy kills (the v8 POS's or the yam v-6's). Granted the V-6 ones had potential.

Yeah no doubt, the older sho's were slow. I'm not questioning if he could take one of those.

[dsmuts]

What gen sho what it? 1-4?

[footballplaya3k]

Mods op?

The SHO was around an early 90's and had the Yamaha motor. They are relatively quick; a lot quicker than the late 90's V-8 SHO's. Our vehicle's are faster than the SHO off the line or should I say our drive-lines. The Stealth was a sled, and yes the twin turbo VR-4 stealth would probably have competed with the Vettes of the mid 90's.

[dsmuts]

So i was either a 1st or second gen. If it was a 5 speed it runs 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and has 225hp at the crank. They were also faster than the 5.0 mustangs of the years they were made (1989-1995)

I come from the 3000GT/Stealth world. A TT Stealth is all about the driver. When they first came out several magazines only got mid 14's out of them because they didn't know how to launch them. Something as simple as a manual boost controller, intake, and test pipe and they are mid 12's on stock turbos.

If you ran into a non turbo Stealth, then yes it was a waste of fuel. 5 speeds run lower 15's and the automatics are 16 second cars.

[cleangtp]

VR4's are all wheel drive, all wheel steering. They range 13.6 to 14.1 in the 1/4 mile and anywhere from 5.2 to 5.7 0-60 stock, they're not slow.

Sho's are slow parents owned a 92 5 speed upper 14's to low 15's in the 1/4 and they all have junk transmissions. Find me a Sho with a unmolested tranny that still drives and I'll be impressed.
