SHO all the way. I almost got one a while back. It was a used 98 SilverFrost. Fully loaded with moonroof. You can get a nice one for around $15k.

I'd say the Regal GS, but that's because I'm a Buick fan...

Regal GS all the way!
SHO's cost too much to maintain and they have expensive parts.
Regal GS has a nice 240HP S/C engine and with the 3800 Series V6 it will run forever.

1998 Contour Sport V6, Black
*Cold air induction
*Powdercoated intake manifold (more powdercoating coming soon)
*Blue headlights, foggies, and signals (no reflectors)
*CEG stickers & removed door moldings
--------------------------------
1994 Ford Aspire 4-door, looks like a big egg
*64 hp 4-cyl
*5 speed
*"13 steel rims with go-cart tires
*74 mph top speed
*I'm going to auto-x the thing (but not compete)

It wasn't made to run that hard...putting down that kind of power is bound to cause problems...  jk, I know they weigh less than me.

I'd get an SHO, almost got one instead of my contour. If you get a 2nd gen (92-95) don't get an auto whatever you do.
We had a 92 mtx (auto didn't arrive until 93) and never had a major problem with it, not to say they are the most reliable, I just think it would be worth it.
