·Fall 2000 I was happy to serve as pace car for the vintage car race at Indianapolis Raceway Park in my new (to me) 1996 SHO V8. As pace car, I led every race that day right up to the green flag!
The car is pretty much pure stock, I like to get to know a car well before making modifications. But it is a great road car and a companion to the 1989 SHO I bought in 1991 and still own. It is in semi-retirement and brought out for racing (won 3rd in the One Lap of America in 1996 in the Mid-price Sedan class) and other fun.
As the head of the National SHO club, I am biased, but I think the SHO is a wonderful sedan that has earned the right to be called a "sport" sedan. It is not a BMW, but then it doesn't cost near as much and it has a great stealth factor that makes for more relaxed driving!
I am a fan of anything cool, fast, neat or just odd in the automotive world. I love 60's era full size Pontiacs (and of course GTO's) and will drool over everything from low riders to street rods to racers and stockers.
