    I had a 93 manual and a 94 automatic SHO. I really liked both those cars except for the FWD and when anything broke it was expensive. I will say that Yamaha V6 was an unbelievable engine - never had an issue with the engine.

    Mostly because the closing of the plant in Australia. Shame really. Aussies are known for rear wheel drive V8 super cars and those types. They LOVE muscle cars.

    Like everything else, liberalism has killed it off.
