Well, whadaya think??? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...say no more, say no more...

First, Adam, I'll keep you in mind if I go with the XT6.

Johnny,
I just don't think it would have the torque needed to haul the SVX around with the authority it would in either the XT6 or the Outback Sport, that and if I did it would ruin my plans of a supercharged 3.3 (when I hit the Lotto )
