I've driven an early 70's "Hurst" Olds 445. It was pretty hard to keep between the ditches with the pedal to the floor. The back end would fish around pretty rigorously. The SHO has the opposite problem. There is so much torque as opposed to weight in the front that the FRONT of the car jumps around on the street when you floor board it.
445's are very cool, but the SHO is more of a "lazy man's" (like me) car... ' didn't need restoration / no carburetor / both front seats have gobs of electronic gadgets to adjust for "old" people riding in the car for extended trips / doesn't attract much attention on the street but absolutely can get out of and away from "annoying" boxed-in traffic situations if just given the eye of a needle in which to manuever...
