my dad had an 89 sho when they first came out. he had one of the little windows in the back pop out at 145mph racing an sc400 down I-75... lol
i was supposed to get it when i was 16, but a semi ran him off the road and it got totaled.
that is still one of the best designed and best looking v6's ever. the throttle response was amazing. i tried to drive it when i was still learning to drive a stick and kept doing burnouts because the throttle was so touchy.

yes, they're a bitch to work on. it took me over an hour just to replace the plug wires. on my truck, i can do that same job in less then a minute.
