SVX owner comment in Sport Compact Car

[strange179]

I just got the latest Issue of Sport Compact Car today and on page 30 there is a letter from an SVX owner who identifies themself as SVXLuver. They titled the letter "Subarueful." Just wanted to share my excitement. WooHoo!

Well what does the letter say?

[strange179]

Sorry, I shouldn't assume that people have access to Sport Compact Car. I guess I just take it for granted :-p

Here it is:

Subarueful
I will make it plain and simple with three letters: SVX. You have given this car no coverage at all. I'd kill myself if I had to morgtage the house to make my car fast. My SVX ran 14.89 with very little aftermarket help, and 13s on demand with a 100-shot. Show me a rice rocket with a 2.18 60-foot using street tires and front wheel drive.

Good to see that someone spoke out!

My guess is that lots of people send in things but since they only print maybe 10 letters a month it's really cool to see one printed. I think they had an SVX in the reader's rides section a while ago. I think the guy who owned it had custom headers made if I renember correctly.

Jay

wow those fall right after replacing the flux capacitor on my cars to-do list!

...with a fwd SVX that I know ran 14.89 all-motor and 13's (13.32) with a 100 shot of NOS. His name is Walter James and he's known around here as Poweredx2. His friends call him Walter or Jay. He owns a '94 SVX LS.

This is a pic of his car from Dayle's site under Customer's Cars:

Yeah, Walter has a sweet ride. Never seen an SVX with a single wiper conversion before his...

Yea that and he has custom seats....and i love white rims on a red SVX. Ive always loved that. Ive been considering that for a long time and i would do it if i didnt allready have rims.

I've seen others do this before... what is the advantage of this mod?

Not sure, as the swept area on the windshield will be reduced. However, I guess it gives the car a more exotic look...

I wonder if he got it off an old XT or XT6.
