Going to the discussion page, my last attempt was followed by my assertion that the persons most likely to have the correct information is the members of the largest online forum of SVX enthusiasts, here. Those guys seem to think that the ONE magazine article that they read has the correct top speed for ALL model years (143mph ). I stopped trying, because its obvious that these guys have nothing better to do than be wrong on Wikipedia, and for some reason watch the SVX page like a hawk.
I hate Wiki purists like that. They don't even have the cars and then reference some random magazine forgetting that a lot of magazines are wrong.
