What does the stock SVX weight in street trim?
Also what is the torque split F/R and what determines the changes? It would be good to know this I think. I have only run at events in manual 1 and it's not shifted to 2 yet and if I run tomorrow, I know it won't shift at that site either. I've been running more air in the rear and the car seems to rotate very well but I've driven FWD a lot over the years and a few RWD. I've not had much understeer from the SVX unless my head was in the wrong dark place.
3580#s.

When you are at WOT the transmission TRIES to be 50/50.

Under most on throttle conditions its about 66% to 75% fwd.

I say this because I have had the Subaru Select Moniter connected while driving many, many, many SVXi and watched the read out.

At very light throtle, perhaps going down hill, it could be as much as 90% fwd.
