I just traded my SHO for an 89 legend 5 speed, IF you look at the cost of maintaining a SHO you won't want one, unless you can afford it! Every 60K you have to do a $1400 maintenance on the motor, to adjust the valves, timing belt, water pump..blah blah.. my sho had 122,000 miles on it, and was very quick, especially on the freeway, when passing, it is no problem at all! it feels like it has more than 220HP . BUT I just feel alot more confident in the acura, the average legend I see for sale has 170,000 or more, even more than 220,000 so you know you have a reliable car! Andthe one I just traded for only has 107,000 miles! Bottom line is, there is always someone faster than you, even if you have the brand new subaru wrx sti, so you might as well find a quick car that you like the style of alot, and can afford to maintain, also reliablity is a good thing! So my choice was the acura! 1989 5 speed coupe LL
