Looked almost exactly like this one. It was goofy fast.

The first and second gen gen SHO's (89-91 and 92-95 respectively) were V6. They were 3.0L designed by Yamaha but based on the Ford Vulcan architecture but were different engines. They were available with manual or auto.

The 3rd gen SHO (96-99) jelly beans were truly awful cars. They had a unique V8 again by Yamaha. They also did a good job of eating themselves as the cam timing sprockets were swaged not bolted on to the cam. They cam loose and valves and pistons trying to coexist in time and space with predictable results. They were auto only.
