SHO'S are a complicated machine. I have had mine since new and I can honestly say I have never worked on a car as much as I have worked on this damn SHO. Don't get me wrong, I love the car, but it's more like a love/hate relationship than anything else.
After 14 years, I still have the car. I can't ever see myself departing with it unless I get a real race car, then I may be out of room in my warehouse/race shop.
If you're somewhat mechanically inclined, I wouldn't let it scare me. The guys on SHO Times have lots of great information that will help you get through ownership.
Good Luck!!!!

This question you will ALWAYS get mixed answers on. First, you have to remember 92 SHOs are now 11 years old. 95s, 8 years old. So of course you are going to have 'problems' with them!!!! As for the comment about ATXs, I disagree!!!! yes, they are 'weak', but my 93 had 118k on it, original tranny and it went to the dragstrip often!!!
The bottom line is ANY year SHO is a high maintenance vehcile and parts are not cheap!
But we still love'em!!
My current 90 has 145k on it and still tearing it up!!!! I have not had any problems with it that any other 13 year old car would have!

When I had my '93 Red MTX, my only complaint was the brakes. I actually had the brakes smoking once after racing down a windy country road. Had I not put a rod through the pan, a brake upgrade would have been on the to-do list. However, I still miss that car...it was comfortable, optioned right, and a blast to drive.:beer:

I parkeed her in a new spot and no spots on the ground :shrug: :shrug: It used that much fluid and I only drive it 8 miles to work and 8 miles back. Which hoses should I check. Its not getting hot like a car that has a coolant problem would normally do.
Or steam in the exhaust?

No and it doesnt have the smell of coolant either, I do puff a little smoke when I downshift and finally stop.

ROFL,
Ok I think you are right I am pretty sure I have a leak somewhere, I checked my exhaust and oil, and I am going to list it on eBay with a small leak. It seems to have slowed down. It never gets hot.

Selling it for financial reasons, she has been a great car only problem has been the leak which is pretty minor, never overheats, never has lost power, shifts beautifuly, car has perfect steering, almost everything works minus a coupole actuators and hood supports.
