dude wants to race and ill blow the doors off that POS for if they dont come off will racing!!!

 

He will beat you if his tranny doesn't blow

 

Assuming you are a capable 5-speed driver, and the mods to each car arent too crazy, you will definately win... 5-speed vs. 5-speed would be a close close call, but VS his auto you will beat him without too much trouble.

 

Two words
SMOKED SHO

My girlfriends dad has 3 of them, two autos and one 5speed that will rip the doors off of most anything, I will smoke the autos, but that 5speed has a full exhaust and it will fly!! He says that it will keep up with his 2000 Ford SVT Lightning, and I have driven both and agree with him on it

 

I used to drive an auto SHO (93). It would get up and go, I had a mutated one, it was actually pretty fast. It had a killer 2nd gear. It lasted to 90 MPH! But the car was a piece and I went thru about 4 trannys. If youre a good driver then you'll beat him. Just make sure you get him off the line and you'll have no problem. It was a pretty fast car, really quick once you got going. But my car now would eat it up.

 

F*ckin Mutant!!!!!!!! I saw it tear the **** out of another sho that was the same year and had just about the same amount of miles on it

 

Since you are a 5 speed you'll win if you launch well. The autos are like auto Maxs and don't use the engines power as efficiently as they otherwise could. Now a 5 speed SHO is quick and it would depend on the driver to driver experience.
