oh yeah....1.04G's on a dkid pad on stock 15" wheels and tires....hahaha,


Makes me wish I had bought the last conversion kit for $2500 when I had the chance. A guy in Cali was selling the last ever un-used conversion kit needed to make the SHO fit into the festiva...I was just a little broke at the time. Maybe I can pick up a built shogun from someone if they're selling one.

 

"why ruin a good joke"? Is there a car we could have ALL agreed was a 'crummy/slow/butt-of-joke-worthy car without SOMEONE going, "yeah, but my uncle dropped a big block into it and it ran ...."

sheesh.

 

Shogun was in Car & Driver, awesome car. I've found that since I started autocrossing (in 1993!, God I'm old) I no longer tend to feel the need to "prove anything" to every booger-nosed high school kid with enough money to buy some 17" rims and a "performance exhaust" for his roached-out Civic. I think it has something to do with whipping them by more than 2 or 3 seconds on the weekends up in Atwater at the SCCA events, but then again it could just be old age setting in. Where's my Geritol and my walker?

 

Agreed. Kind of like a latter day Renault R5 Turbo... yet another "must have" on my already long list of cars that I am going to buy, should I ever win the lottery.
