I *BELIEVE* it said it had a sort of displacement on demand system that when the TC locked up, one of the cylinder banks shut down, just like when it shifts.

Oh,
that's what you're talking about. Yes, I do have the R&T Guide, and I do remember that the car supposedly cuts fuel when the tranny shifts. But the shifts are so long, I don't know when this is supposed to happen.
But I've
never heard a claim that the engine is capable of 'displacement on demand.' I think you misinterpreted the book.

The original reviews of the SVX had 0-60 in 7 seconds, and in the Automobile mag review, it said that shifts were creamy smooth right up to the 7,000 RPM redline. I can dig that out too if you want.
No offense taken lol...i'm not intending for people to take what I say as gospel, but I guess I just have an inquiring mind.
Oh yeah...and this Australlian magazine I bought on eBay had a big article about why the SVX and 300ZX failed, called "The X Fails". It was on a 1996 yellow SVX, stock, and it did 0-60 in 6.8 secs. Hmm...
Wow...with me throwing all these claims around I better pull these mags out and check 
P.S. - It was here in these forums that someone told me that he US and JDM trannies were "completely different beasts"

And they are, which is what I said in my first post. I'm still waiting to see a picture or a diagram of one. If anybody has such information, I'd appreciate you sharing.
