oh crap! i needed a good laugh! i think what you really like to do is try to floss your big hp around, and the fact you bought the car for $15k, and added some mods and you are fastAr that cars costing more. guess what? no one really cares. there is more to life than straight-line speed. some like the combination of utility, comfort, a usable back seat, AWD for all-year driving, etc. let me ask you this: do you regularly take the car to a track or dragstrip? if not, what use do you get out of 500 (600?) hp? it seems like you souped up your car "just to soup it up".

Fixed your post. WHY ARE YOU HERE? As for a mature conversation. You wouldn't know one if jaws delivered it to your hind quarter. Before you, believe it or not 99% of all conversations here were mature. Since you've arrived you've sent many away with your inmature, insane, idiotic, unfounded arguments. When you finally do realize that no one here gives a crap about YOU (most of us have nothing against the cars you own, or every other owner of them in the world for that matter), YOU on the other hand ARE NOT WANTED HERE AS YOU'VE PROVED TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOU AREN'T WORTHY OF HOLDING A REAL CONVERSATION WITHOUT BASHING A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER SO UNTIL YOU LEAVE EVERY POST YOU MAKE WILL SOON BE FOLLOWED BY THIS SIMPLE QUESTION.... WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

That's great that you got 145k out of your wheel bearings, but I had to replace them twice in three years. And I'm sure other members have had similar problems. You can't deny that the SVX as a design had wheel bearing issues. It's not just a conspiracy by a large number of disgruntled SVX owners to defame the SVX; it's a real problem. And a "limited production sports car" (I use the term loosely, since I've always seen the SVX as a grand tourer) should have had more engineering analysis and less problems, although you seem to suggest otherwise. Quote:
I'm starting to wonder whether you even understood what I was conveying in my original post. Let me put it more bluntly. I could care less what your anecdotal experience has told you. Your individual bad experiences with GM doesn't mean that their whole line is a pile. They're far from perfect machines, and a large number of people can attest to that, but your individual opinion DOES NOT MATTER. Just like my wheel bearing problems. I'm not going to base my opinion of the SVX, much less Subaru's whole line, on just one problem. I could have easily called my SVX a rolling junkyard because of that problem, but I didn't. I could have looked at the people having tranny problems and say the SVX is junk. I didn't. I simply recognize that the SVX has certain strengths and certain weaknesses, like any other car. The RX-7 is a moving work of art, from the body lines to the rotary engine. The fact that the apex seals go regularly on the Wankel does not significantly detract from the RX-7 as an overall package. It's simply a weakness that needs to be acknowledged and either rectified or lived with. Quote:
I'm starting to think you're even more of a Subaru fAnB0i than Shadow is for GM. And at least Shadow's got some method to his madness. Your SVX isn't made by the hand of God, and neither is his F-Body, but he seems a little more willing to accept that than you. |

Not saying it's a bad car, but it looks to be going the way of the SVX marketing- and sales-wise. And the fact that I do not expect a GTO to have "similar" handling to an M3 (unless you consider the fact that they're both IRS "similar" enough), and that the M3's interior would be VERY hard to beat. Fit and finish on the M3s I've seen have been impeccable. |

FYI our race car despite running much harder and wider than your average SVX has had no wheel bearing issues to speak of and has the originals at 150k My experiences do matter especially when they mimic that of the GENERAL PUBLIC'S and they aren't buyinig GM anymore for various reasons most notably perceived lack of quality, incentives and a poor product line. No history, I'm just sick of his posts as most are who no longer come to the site to contribute in a positive manor. I'm just willing to talk at his level to hopefully convince him that this board doesn't want him or his ignorance around here unless he realizes it isn't a place for such antics. As for being a Subaru fan, yes I am. Did I ever say Subaru's were made by a god? NO, both you and Shadow did though now so maybe I'm wrong on that. I have probably driven more brands cars than anyone else here and I have a very large mix of personal likes and dislikes but I don't feel the need to spout them out here as it isn't a Triumph board. It isn't a Morgan board! It isn't a TVR board. It isn't a real Lotus board and most of all it isn't a GM board As for your bearings. Sorry you made a bad purchase and took it to a poor place to fix it but that doesn't mean that they are the issue that everyone makes them out to be. They just need to be replaced properly the 1st time otherwise you'll be replacing them very frequently or buying new hubs which if you have another issue with 'em I'd be talking to that garage about how they plan to purchase some new hubs for it unless they followed the FSMs (including the special tool use) to a T rather than hammering 'em out and in.

Hmmmmmmm, I believe it is not the car that is threatening, but the constant reminder of it's equallity that comes across as a statement of superiority, sure, the effbody does some things quite well, as does the the SVX, differn't and for us the SVX is superrior, for you the Fbody is superrior.

I will say that I believe there is a significant gap between consumers' perceived lack of quality vs. actual lack of quality for Ford and GM. Somehow, Dodge/Chrysler have magically seemed to flip this on its end, as the 300/Charger/Magnum series seems to sell well because they're perceived as having higher quality than they actually have. I base this solely on my limited experience with the 300 and Magnum (goddamn those seats are hard). The Crossfire actually seems to be well put together; unfortunately, the price reflects that. My personal opinion is that dissent is great, as long as their argument is sound. I've learned useful info from trolls, and even more useful info just scoping out other boards. Quote:

Countdown till someone calls Red SVX 92 a GM fanboi...5...4...3...2...
Now that there are two people here from the real world, what's going to happen? I'm sure we'll both just be dismissed as crazies. Quote:

Exactly, this is a place to share info, not argue, you haven't realize that and you still haven't left yet. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? Go argue elsewhere or shut up and wait til Reading but then again, you wouldn't go simple because you have no other reason for being here than to argue and down everybody! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
