I can't imagine what another 100hp would do to it. Torque steer is evident with mine when you punch it. The old SHO was only available with an automatic if I remember correctly.

Crewzin, that's a fine squad car, I don't suppose you have any problems pullin over any rice burners. Is that Citrus County?

The 1st gen SHO's were available only in manual, until 93. The only shos I've driven were manual. I can't say I remember any torque steering, but it came stock with an upgraded sport suspension system.

You couldn't give me a SHO taurus from any year. Not because I am die hard Ma Mopar but when I was 19 I worked for Carquest and while some people had no problems more had TONS of problems. And everything on those cars is VERY expensive.
They were a money hog, almost to the point of selling it. Then I'd just go to the track.
