Ever take a can of worms and dump 'em on a table?

You are in for a LOT of answers to your questions!

1. Most SVXs are AWD. Some built in '94 and '95 are front-wheel drive only.

2. '92 and '93 SVXs had LS and LS-L designations. '94 - '97 used the L, LS and LSi model designators. ALL SVXs have the same engine in them - a flat 6 producing 230hp.

3. No SVXs were built with turbochargers. Some members here have added turbos or NOS, though.

4. A friend and coworker also has a 3000GT. I have always liked the way the car looks, but I find the SVX to be better balanced and more refined. I consider the interior of the 3000GT to be an absolute mess, for example. The flat 6 in the SVX means a much lower hood, bringing with it lower drag and better visibility. I could go on. Don't get me wrong - I have always liked the 3000GT...the SVX just fits me better and I consider it to be more thoughtfully built.

What model / year is your car?
