I say his is not tuned correct or not driven correct. 1991 is 0 to 6.6 sec and 1999 it 0 to 60 7.5 . My source is here. http://home.pon.net/hunnicutt/SHOpage.htm Was considering a v-6 sho in a mustang. It can be converted to rwd. Ps the fastest one is a v-6.

I don't think he was trying. Surely an SHO would take less than 14 seconds to get to 60. My mustang (estimate) gets to 60 in like 8.5-9 seconds. I'm sure an SHO is faster than that. Also consider that he was turning a corner.

Do your homework before you open your mouth. Its a 3.4L that has been built by yamaha. Ford built the block, Yamaha built the rest. They only made 235 horsepower, and im sorry, a 4 banger mustang wont beat it. My buddy has one, and it dusted my 3.8L bird, and my 3.8L bird would dust 2.3L mustangs. You do the math.
