I have since stopped trying to persuede the nimrods there that they are wrong about the top speed listed (1992-93 listed as 143mph, no figure stated for 94-97). In the "discussion" part of the article, I have tried in vain to reason why their logic on "reputable sources" is faulty. It was stated to me that Wiki information is about "verifiability" and not "truth", so after a small rant, im finished trying to convince the clowns there (who dont even own an SVX) of anything. Its not a big deal to me, so ill let it be..... but this situation is exactly why Wikipedia itself is not considered a "reputable source" in academic circles. According to them, all of the "sources" I referenced to are invalid and the single quip from the Road & Track prototype test drive is apparently the most valid source for the stated top speed

Wikipedia, the mentally challenged step-child of Accuracy.
