that dyno is fucking shitty. I would be pissed if I bought a turbo and had no power till 5k rpm and only had ~2000 rpm’s to play with. Wide torque curve\>peaky power. IMO ---

> [@The1SloShelby](#): > > you know what i meant about “newer” right? > is it like the 87 to 94 range??? the sho started in 89 and was a 3.0L 5-spd only. the 92 was a newer body style and in 93 they gave the option of a 3.2L with an automatic. 95 was the last year of the good bodystyle, the newer sho’s are ugly and slow and I do not follow them at all. I will always like the sho and will have another one someday, even though the one I had was a pile of shit. I like the body style and loved the engine. oh well ---

Not really relevant but I saw an f body i’d actually buy until I saw it was a slushbox. It was a newer style ta special ed. You know the yellow and black ones. Oh well.
