    thats wassup pimpn. i was talking shit about the civic. my civic, actually, is slow as hell and pushes 35 lb rims (each). but i will line up with you any day with the SHO. It will be on a track b/c I, too, have a 2 year old and have WAY too much to loose to fuck around w/ that underground shit. i did that when i was younger. believe, as soon as i get her together, you'll be one of the 1st to know.

    i'm a fan of SHO's myself. They do have pretty strong engines. I prefer the 3.4 V8. I myself have the 3.0 V6 24V DOHC engine in my Sable LS. I really wanted the V8, but it was hard to find a good one for a decent price. Oh well, mine is still running strong at 181,xxx plus miles.

    why would I lying about it? I had tons of fun with all the power it had, but sadly I sure do miss driving it, cause right now it has a power steering leak. So, I'm stuck driving my civic ( only pro on the civic is that it saves on alot on gas compared to my Duratec engine). Hopefully I'll get it fixed soon, and enjoy the power within.

    Seems to me you are somewhat confused. The 3.0 V6 DOHC motor you have in your sable is not the same as the 3.0L V6 DOHC that is in the SHO unless you performed a swap... in which case I ask for pics.

    The sable packs a Duratec. The SHO packs a Yamaha motor.

    my bad bro. I mistakenly was comparing my engine to the original SHO V6 engine, but didn't realize the fact it was made made Yamaha and not by Ford. A big difference there. Even though the Duratech made 200 HP vs 220 HP Yamaha engine with the same torque for both cars. But, I still have respect for both engines, cause both at very well crafted engines.

    No biggie. Happens all the time. "What? A YAMAHA in a Ford!? Riiiiiiight."
