I was on my way home today and I noticed in my rear view mirror some car weaving in and out of traffic. He eventually went by me and it was some crappy looking dark green Subaru SVX. You know the one with the wierd looking side windows. Probably early-mid 90's. Anyways I came to a stop beside him a few lights up. Looks like he wanted to race, but I didnt go for it. I had to turn a block away plus the ground was all wet. I'm just wondering how I'd do vs him if I come on him again. (small town). Right now I'm bone stock but with winter tires and rims.

 

I think you should spank him with those numbers..... But the rain would even it up a little

 

dude those cars arent even a match for a 2.2....a ss s/c would eat it alive

wow a whole second difference then i found... where did you get your info from? Im not saying ur lying, id jus like to know so i can compare the two sites info...

 

you should smoke him

 

i got mine off an svx enthusest page, so who knows..they could be overrating, or consumer gide coulda pulled a bad run

 

SVX's are slow as fudge! I've driven one b4. They have tranny problems too. Few ppl do STi swaps on em and turn em into monsters but those are rare. I think my 99 ML320 can pull on those things....wait...I think my ML320 towing my 20' bass boat will pull on it! hahah lol Cool looking cars but slow....

 

ya know... Im not positive, but I think i read somewhere that the svx was subarus first run at a turbo... i could be wrong and i dont feel like doin any research....

 

They're not exactly powerful, and they're porky. No reason you shouldn't take one out.

 

8.4 second 0-60?

Thats about on par with an automatic 2.2, lol

Thats pathetic

 

what is the ss/sc 0 to 60 i think consumerguide claims it as 6.1 seconds?

 

I've seen it tested between 5.9-6.2 seconds.

 

Haha sweet thanks guys. As soon as the roads dry up and some of the snow melts I'll let you know what happens!

 

drove one years ago.... it's a dog!!!! you'll spank him silly

 

i watched something on the speed channel where some guy took an svx out on the track and was beating on it and said it was a quick little car and it handled amazing i was like

 

those things are slugs.. an n/a ss will smoke one. hell, i think even a 2.2l base cobalt could run it

 

never even heard of an svx????????

HAHAHAH the last paragraph on the main page...

"But don't let the problems scare you away. The SVX is a great car that one magazine called "a cross between Porsche engineering and Jaguar refinement."

 

I see them a lot, but rarely at the track. The one time I DID see one at the track, the guy driving couldnt do better than 15.6

You will destroy that car in a race.

 

what is their stock quarter times?? and are the turbo i am guessing??

 

I was looking at getting one for a kit car a while back, if you get the 1992 it has better numbers than the 1993-1996. In OEM spec they are naturally aspirated boxer 6 cly. with a 4speed auto. I was going to drop in a turbo kit and a sti trani then they are awesome also if you remove the awd control fuse it changes to fwd and you get more hp.

 

it says "no content yet" if you look at the mods section
