I agree the SHO should remain kind of sleeper. I think it would look better stock

There are also enthusiasts who simply want to go faster, stop faster, and not attract the unwanted attention of Officer Friendly.

DAMN! I better not let my SHO see that one - it would surely traumatize my poor car! I'll take my SHOs and SVTs sleeper-style, thanks! My car has ALL of the suspension upgrades you can get on a SHO, yet still looks completely stock, just slightly lowered. Just by lowering it, it gets more attention, but still goes unnoticed by most. That guy ruined that car...
