Performance
hey,

Why are different SVX's rated at different speeds. The 92 was rated at 15.5 quarter and 7.3 0-60. The 94 was rated at 16.2 quater and 8.7 0-60. Why is there such a big difference?

The 92's did not have a rev limiter built into the ECU like the later years did, so they will turn more RPM's to ring out a few more ponies.

Huck, are you sure about that? I mean, I know that the '92s and '93s don't have electronic speed limiters like the '94 and later cars, but I've never heard of the '92s not having rev limiters.

Rev limiter
My 1992 (built 11/1991)

DOES have a rev limiter. It kicks in at 6,500 Trust me.

Now it doesn't have a speed limiter.

It seems pretty fast (for an SVX)

I completely agree, man. I love my SVX, even if it's no dragstrip machine. I bought it understanding what it was.

They are. They add character to the car and build the character of the owner.

Hey, Alan - did you see that BMW has co-opted the landshark theme for the new Z4 ad campaign? You 928 guys gonna sue?

It was just an assumption on my part, as this is a common way to limit top end.

Huck is right I think technically.

Personal experience wise, 92 will launch like a bat out of hell compare to the 94+ SVXes FWD or AWD.
