I had a '90 SHO... the lightest were the '89s, but they had fugly dashboards and no ABS, as I recall. The '90 was the next best thing... later generations got heavier. It was a great car. The 5 speeds were a weak link, but a few companies offered upgrades. The Yamaha was amazing in the higher revs, but the car was hard to launch -- it would bog easy. From a running start, though, they are very, very quick cars. I put Tokico suspension with SHO Shop linear rate springs on mine and it rode fine.
