Poor man's Ferrari!
 
I don't think this video's been posted to the network. But found it somewhat interesting...not only is the svx considered a "poor man's ferrari", his version came with turbochargers!!!

I don't know where he came up with the twin turbo idea but that SVX is normally aspirated. Obviously he didn't bother to open the hood, or should I say bonnet.

yeah he completely discrediteds himself with that comment. It's statements/videos like this where rumors originate

Wow.. that was terrible.

50% of the hassle? Ha.
I loved how the turbos kicked in when he floored it, really shows.

He probably felt the step down into Power mode and saw the light and fig it was . He did mention the lag.:barf:

And it says he's an editor for one of the biggest car magazines in the world.:confused:

Well there's not quite as much lag on that car now since I had the Ecutune chips fitted (and I've taken both turbos off!). Thanks for the posting I've seen my car in a magazine before and now she's a video star!

Don't be fooled by that. Stinko is faster than snot running down a roosters beak!

Yet, it begs the question. Why were the turbos removed? I prefer NA but the power of the dark side...

It was sarcasm. :rolleyes: But you knew that...right?

Yes, 'twas sarcasm but it is indeed my car. It's got a new registration number and 19" wheels now but the paint is still as good. Oh, and the radio cover still wobbles!
