Re: Cars Comparable with SVX

Currently I would go with the g37x coupe, audi a5, or bmw 330xi coupe are the more recent types of cars similar to the svx, with the audi being the closest (lower production and underpowered for it's size).

Re: Cars Comparable with SVX

Lexus SC300 was the first thing that came to mind for me too.

I wasn't thinking about cars that could outperform the SVX when I read the original question, just cars that were comparable to it. I also agree the standard 3000GT/Stealth were pretty comparable.

Re: Cars Comparable with SVX

Lincoln Mark VIII
SC300/non-turbo Supra
Z32 non-turbo 2+2
Stealth/3000GT non-turbo

Those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Re: Cars Comparable with SVX

Agree on the SC300. It's rear-wheel drive, which is sweet, and it was/is available with a manual transmission -although I've only driven an automatic.

Try it, you'll like it..
