Horrible cars, but the SHO version was pretty amazing. I rode in one once when I was in college. A bunch of us piled into what I thought was essentially a crappy family car. I was in the back seat. My brain was very confused when the driver reached down, grabbed the shifter, rocked it back and forth to check that it was in neutral and then stuck it in reverse. I sat transfixed by the manual shifter with my head cocked the side like like a dog. The guy then stopped, and stuck it in first, and we pulled away with surprising grunt for a crappy family car with at least 5 good sized college guys in the car.

My understanding from the time was that from a stop light, a mustang would take them, but if you were on the road at 50 or 60, that the SHO would take the mustang.
