I took mine to the Nopi Nationals in MD a week after I bought it. Out of 2 runs my worst was 16.104 at 89MPH. Although I'm a lighter FWD model. It was completely stock.

The fwd drivetrain layout is more efficient than awd. In general from the numbers I've seen posted for stock SVXs, most of our cars will run between 15.6-17.0 secs depending on trim level (i.e. weight) and air temperature.
The LSi/LS-L models are fully loaded with leather, sunroof, etc and tip the scales 100lbs heavier than the L/LS models. FWD models are even lighter still...
So if someone with a 3600lb LS-L model, has an additional 100lbs of speaker equipment added to their car, goes to the drag strip, a high 16/low 17 sec pass will probably result.
Another big factor is air temperature. A 16.5 sec car in mid 70* weather, will probably be in the high 15's if the temps were in the low 40* range...
