So your Dad does have the 5 speed SHO.
Even though I don't like Fords, that is a fast car and handles very well for a stock car (with the right tires)
Definitely a sleeper and about 400 lbs lighter than the Aurora with a trunk that is just a big.
He will be hard pressed to find another one quite like it.
Maybe he should buy the 99 Olds for church on Sunday and keep the SHO.

Those SHO'* will rev to 8000 rpm stock, where our 3800'* will only go to about 6000 rpm (7000 rpm with mods).
The Aurora has 4 valves per cylinder but it is a larger engine, so no need to rev above 6000.....way more torque than the SHO.
Peak HP is around 6000rpm.
