ESX's WRX Drag Car Uses SVX Auto

[Dr.Outback]

Yesterday at Lancaster County Motors we hosted ESX Motorsports and their 1000HP WRX drag car. When I asked one of the mechanics what type of tranny they used, he replied, one out of an SVX. My mouth nearly fell open. It's basically a stock tranny with cooler. The front diff was changed to a locking type and some of the pressures have been changed to provide better shifts i.e not the smooth shifting our SVX's are known for. But it's rebuilt every season "right", not a cheapy rebuild. But they say it's basically stock. I thought this piece of info was awesome!
