Well, here's the lowdown. I've worked really hard on my SVX and put a lot of time and effort into it. Its a 95 LSI, black with black. It has 17" Falken wheels, and I forget the tires, but they're sticky. Anyway, I port and polished the whole engine, balanced everything, got the computer chip, and did a ton of N/A work on it. Yep. Its naturally aspirated. Makes a tad UNDER 400hp. No turbo, and 196mph. To help cope with the power, I put in a high performance clutch, carbon fiber driveshaft, light weight flywheel, and a 5spd manual transmission with quasi-adjustable gearing. I retained the 4wd system but gutted the interior and replaced as many body panels as I could with carbon fiber to get the weight down to about 3100 lbs (dry). I also installed a cold air intake, true dual exhaust (with bigger piping) and upgraded the fuel system. Anyway, last night I got it up to 196mph! I am NOT KIDDING!

Here's a picture of it, including the speedo:

Here are some more shots of me hauling some serious ass (160-180mph):

Here's a close shot. Too bad the glare doesn't let you see me in the driver's seat.

I know you're all jealous, and you'd love to own this car. Unfortunately, I keep it in a digitally guarded garage, but its parked right next to my 300hp neon and my 588hp superbird. Sorry. :P
