You obviously don't know a lot about cars...
Out of the cars I've driven, that had one of the best 4-banger engines - ever. The B16A. The only thing better is the B18C5. At the time (early to mid 90s), it had the highest specific output for a normally aspirated engine, and the highest redline on any car under $100k...it was a screamer, and pushed 100 hp/liter - still a feat that many cars don't achieve.
As for the SHO - 140+ mph is absolutely believable...the Yamaha powerplants in those were always underrated, and quickly forgotten. 220hp was a lot back then. Even better (IMO) was the 3rd gen SHO with the tiny V8 - again, from Yamaha...too bad it didn't have the manual though. It would be nice to see Ford beef up another sedan with something like those Yamahas...just not a big fan of the five hundreds.
