Significant Technical Input
I agree with Mr. P. Remember the SVX has a learning computer - after enough times of seeing certain inputs it adjusts its programming to be more in sync with driver demands.

I remember my SVX and how it responded. These cars were one of the first few that used variable intake manifolding. As such you'll find that not flooring them from a light will yield a much quicker response. The cause of the delay when flooring from low speed is the sudden air dump without the benefit of an accelerator pump, ala carburetors. The mixture is lean and it takes the computer and fuel system a little time to catch up. I think you'll find that just pressing the pedal down about a 1/3 and waiting for the engine to gather itself up before continuing to floor it will show you much better results than just stomping it down to the floor.
