Nope. That's what the sho replaced. I got bored to be honest. I did every bolt on possible but after that it was not a very comfortable highway car hah. That and being a manual got old. I could not drive it on road trips.

It was a fun car though. I miss that obnoxious v8 sound.

Understandable.
You don't miss that 6 speed manual?
Man, I do. Nothing better than a powerful car with a manual transmission.

If the sho had a nice sounding v8 then I would miss it more. Since the sho just lays power on smoothly it's a different kind of fast. The problem with the manual was getting traction. I had 285 stickys on the back but just could not get it to hook off the line. It was always unpredictable.  Sometimes if I did a hard 1-2 it would break loose. I hated that. Also I think I had a weak trans because 3rd was always a fight to get in. Lost a few races because it would lock me out.
But being my first brand new car it was a great experience and I'm glad I did it.

I've never owned a high powered RWD car. But, I feel you on traction. My brother had an MKIV TT Supra a number of years ago, with a few bolt ons. That thing would rip man, and it wasn't an easy drive in rain, and it'd also break traction shifting 1-2. Sweet car though.

I miss the 6 speed manual in my Speed6. I don't really miss the car itself, but d cent power, 6 speed, with AWD and no nannies...that car was alot of fun to bust around corners and get sideways, and the front wheels would always deliver enough tq to balance out a slide, so it was never out of control.

Anyway, here's my random photo...
Diesel, anybody?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
