I bought a 90 SHO. What a car. 326,000 miles. There were two tuners that knew what they were doing. I was going to make this thing fast. Sure enough, I made it fast. HP up by 50%. What I went through to get there was crazy. $$$$$'s, plus some. Inconvenience, plus some. Out of state travel to get stuff done, plus some. I took it out to Texas Motor Speedway with 300,000 miles on it. Ran it 2 hours in 30 minute sessions between 4,000 and 8,000 rpm. Had to put 110 octane in it to cool it down. Destroyed my upgraded brakes. Had a blast but, looking back, what it took to get there was not worth it. I sold it to the guy that did a bunch of the heavy duty engine modifications. I asked him why he bought it. Turns out that I was the only one that had done ALL the available modifications, both west coast and Atlanta. He took it racing and loved beating unsuspecting BMW's. After a year of flogging he busted the transmission, which was the big weak point in the whole set up with no options to replace. So what did I do? I bought a 2005 CTS V. Then a 2010 CTS V. Put 200,000 miles on each. Then I bought a 2018 Z07. The difference between these and the SHO? They are bone stock. They all go real fast out of the box. AND, I made zero modifications, nor will I make any modifications to any late model car that I drive, either down here or in Heaven. It is as is, from the factory. Now my two old cars? Well, that's a different story.
