I COULD make it out to PA, but I'd have to leave yesterday
. So, I guess no race. I followed an SVX for about a mile yesterday and wanted to race it, but the 60 year old lady didn't want any. BTW...today I got a piece of a Bonneville SSEI and it was dead even. Take from that what you will.
Mods: Intake, Exhaust, Power Chip, lightweight uderdrive pulley.
As for ground clearance, the SVX is made to look sporty, and sporty cars ride low. Hood scoops are available, but many members feel they ruin the lines of the car. (For pics of a scoop go to
www.motorsportswarehouse.com or look at the thread entitled "my remodeled SVX" or something like that. It's on the last page of threads.) I kinda do too. It was designed by ITALDesign (Guigario (sp??)) to be smooth and aerodynamic with a drag coefficient of just .29. This partially explains the windows too.
The 2.5 GT can be powered up like woah! There's alot more available for that engine than ours. I like the looks of it too. That's what I wanted until I learned, ironically, that a used SVX was cheaper.
I love the SVX, so if you wanna know anything just ask. There are many sites under the links section at
www.subarusvx.com that explain the technological acievements of the SVX.
