92's hit 160???
 
hey i was just reading some online specs for the svx and it said that the 92 model has the highest top speed out of all the years. is this true?? sorry if this is in the wrong categorie i wasnt sure if this was tech talk or just rumor babble

The 92 is the fastest of all model years because it doesn't have a speed limiter on it. I think the top speed is 155. :)

how long does a stock svx take to hit 155?

It would take awhile, and you'd have to be nuts to try it anywhere other than at a track.

The fastest I've ever gone was 110 in my svx and about 115 in my 81 olds.
The svx would probably take around a minute or so I'm guessing to top out with no wind involved-this is just a guess though

im just dying to put mine on a dyno, i wanna see its true power under that hood. i just love driving and seeing how fast i can go without pooing a little lol i never knew about the no limiter on the 92 so i figured i topped it. hmm thanks for giving me a higher goal now lol.

I can vouch for 140 and even feeling stable. At that time I decided it was better to just let go of the gas and let her slow down on her own. I was very suprized with how she felt at that speed though, I've been in a few cars at speeds close to, and they felt way too twichy.. but the svx felt as if it was right at home with it. Giugiaro's design works well ;)

None of them have speed limiters except JDM.

if you went 80, and passed another SVX going the other way at 80... then we can let that slide :lol:

How does that play in if you go Hydra?
