no gp weighs 3300 stock. other than that i agree with what you've said

[tc220485]

A 97-03 GTP coupe is 3450-3500 and a Gen 2 (92-95) Automatic SHO is also 3450-3500. Manual gen2 SHOs are 100-150 lbs lighter....

[tc220485]

And even though a 96-99 SHO was way slower than a 92-95 SHO i stall can not see a 235hp car not beating a 160hp car of somewhat similar weight.

GTP vs gen 2 SHO race would go like this:

1/8 mile GTP is out in front

1/4 mile SHO has almost caught up or has caught up

3/8 mile SHO out in front

1/2 mile the GTP is just a tiny spec in the SHO rear-view mirror

the SHO is a better track car cuz it has a very flat torque and a long power bandat high rpms. GTP better drag with 280ft-lbs@3600rpm

first of all a the stopped make the real SHO in 95, so those "SHOs" you raced that were a '97 and '96 were nothing like this car.

The supercharged 3800 wasn't in the GTP was actually designed to compete with the SHO cuz the NA 3800 couldn't hold it's own against it. And the GTP with this SC 3800 wasn't made untill 1997 and they stopped making the true SHO in 1995.

The Yamaha 24v DOHC 3.0L V6 in the SHO and the SC 3.8L V6 couldn't be more different; GTP pure low end, SHO pure top end.

@havinthangs55 Wrong! The 2nd fastest. The latest gen 3 SHO will kill the gen 1 SHO. The funniest part is the V8 SHO is the slowest. Hahaha.

u wish

@MrMercLover Actually if you want to get technical, the Ecoboost SHO is a Gen IV. They made some changes from 92-93 in the body, as well as the performance.  The Ecoboost SHO is also, well... boosted lol. Take those turbos out of the picture and the Gen I will still be the fastest.

@tc220485 Can't agree with you more. I've had both a '91 SHO and a 99 GTP. My GTP would eat my SHO up until about 100, but the SHO would pull ahead. I also have far steeper gears in my GTP. I can take a corvette in the quarter, but it will still outrun me.

@bigbubba357m the reason why u were so close is cuz the 96 SHOs are way slower then the 89-95 SHO. Ford pretty much messed up a good thing there when they switched around the motor setup and made them all autos.

God I love the sound of sho secondaries..everytime i hit 4000 rpm in my 95 i just love it :-)
