WTF?! Lambo windows? 60-125 faster than 0-60? Maybe if you didn't have 1st gear.

Odds are this is a young guy,(16-18) who got an SVX when he WANTED an STI. No offense to the young guys, but some of them have no clue

When I was growing up I read about every car magazine known , I educated myself, just as with the SVX. Check your resources rather than make yourself look like a idiot on the internet, especially if your trying to SELL something. My 7 year old can tell me what make, model, and sometimes what engine! of cars on the road! Of course he has a vast hot wheels collection (300+) and loves cars with a passion. I got both of them roller painting(yes you read correct) my 85 F150 and they love it.

I like the "30mpg at 80 mph". Is that possible without a strong tailwind?

That depends...what's terminal velocity of an SVX that fell out of an airplane?

I actually got 30mph with the cruise set between 80-90mph back when I first bought my '95. It was a nice long drive from Tulsa back to San Antonio, perfect for stretching out those long SVX legs

Ps. The rest of that Craigslist add is retarded

i could probably get ~ high 20's mpg in my LGT if i used highways a lot, but as it stands, i get between 15-17 mpg with mostly city driving and a heavy foot.

WTF, life is too short for having a boring car.

What's a lamborghene? Have to give him credit, I only saw like, one other grammatical error in there, maybe two, better than a lot of posts I see on craigslist.

Oh, come on, now... There's a difference between

"My SVX got 30mpg at 80mph once."

and

"My SVX gets 30mpg at 80mph."

Who gets 30@80 as a rule?
