Saw this on Obscure Cars and figured it would turn up here before too long - I just wasn't sure which section!

Center mount exhaust, cool!

Otherwise......weird drag car? I can't imagine it turns at all.

There is more win than fail there, it's a slim margin, but that's how I'm calling it!

My only WTF is that it's an auto (did they even make an auto SHO in 1993?) and that it doesn't have a full cage and firewall and fender flares for Lemons racing.

In Ohio, that only looks to be wiper blades away from being street legal.

On the other hand, it looks to need a firewall at the minimum to be Challenge/NHRA legal. Certainly will need more depending on how fast it is.

If it has a title and a state trooper never sees it, everything is legal in Wisconsin.

In reply to JohnRW1621:

For NHRA I think it needs a roll bar (or maybe a full cage, can't remember) no matter what due to how much of the floor has been modified.

I believe that the later 3.2l SHOs were only available with an automatic.

Wait a month in WI, it should fall under the Hobbyist license plate.

It's like a guy who fancied himself a drag car builder tried to build a Shogun, but he'd never actually seen a Shogun, just heard about it from a guy who saw one drive by at speed a decade ago.

Or else a half-finished project started by one of us...
