The SHO that wouldnt die!

Ackbar00 · 08-30-2002, 09:40 AM

Took the SHO a couple a weeks ago to the track and on its third run, it just lost all of it aasss! Came back to the pits and found out that the cam cover gasket was blown around the spark plug wells as oil was coming out of 1 of them. Well 2 weeks later and 400$ poorer brought it back out the track and it ripped off a 15.19@92 mph. Im impressed cause the motor just rolled over 150K. I raced my brothers 94 Lighting and just could not get by him. He went a 15.05@88. All i can say is that "Rice.....Beware!"

I beat the hell out of my 89 SHO and I can't make it die. It's 2qt's low of Mobil one, I shift it at 8K instead of 7K and it's still as smooth as the day I bought it.. The rest of the car breaks stuff all the time (tranny's are crap and so's the clutch) but the Yamaha motor is incredible. I have 140,000 indicated but my speedo stopped working for 9 months when I was in Arizona so I'm guessing it has 150-155K

I am willing to bet you like your Vette a little better though.
