Hang on there guys, I'm not advocating a ford, (for some reason most on here don't to the blue oval), I only like older T-birds and Grand Torinos. But how would a stock SSEi do against a stock SHO of the same year?

Auto or manual SHO?

manual

Auto SHO'* are not very quick, about 7.5 secs, and the Manuals are about 6.9- 7.0 secs. The '89 was light and had a 6.6 0-60. I know this cause I asked my uncle.

damn thats crazy I think my car does around 7.3 or so with my intense fenderwell. Jeeze if it wasn't a Ford I'd find and old one and use it as my fun car. But I guess being a ford it is a total sleeper. :P

don't worry buddy no shame in driving a Ford.

The auto SHO I drove was very quick. I think it would be closer than you would think plus the fact the the SHOs only pushing like 220 hp with a 3.2 litre engine.

If you are talking about the V8 show with the SMALL 3.4 V8 pushing 230hp I think it would be even closer.

Yamaha makes expensive but very advanced small engines ............check out the new one they make for the Volvo XC90

Same year SHO didnt come in a manual

O You are talking about the V8 SHOs? If so, then they are sluggish for a small V8, I have a Motor trend here and the 0-60 on them was 7.9 and the 1/4 was 15.9

I would not call those cars dogs. Those numbers are the same as many bonnevilles and not that bad imho.
