Again street legal is a joke since there are well over 300 different ways that each state, county or region determines what is street legal. Then you have the stick and lick variety on top of things. Technically a supercharged svx wouldn't be street legal in my county nor would a nos system on a car or even your black car with those other seats (unless they are dot rated and registered) so all those would need to be considered non street legal as well. I agree that a fastest stock catagory would need to be thought of but again you need to base it on a set of criteria and rules such as the stock class for autox.

Our stripped down racer is just as close to being PA inspectable (sans emissions but Dave lives in a county that doesn't have emissions) as your daily driver that doesn't have annual inspections down in that beltway state.

A competition section would be nice as competition and mods are not one and the same. Oh do you think I could get my new ride into the subaru challenge if I put a WRX emblem on it... It would be great to beat you with yet again but this time with a lawn mower engine and cable driven drum brakes front and rear!

Chris RSVX [he should be called R1100 now ] is right. We actually do need a Competition Forum, and we will have one, hopefully soon.

Do you think we could see a sub 10 second SVX before the year is out??



Joe
You are right, I was hoping you could merge that forum with the tech Q&A. Anyway.... as for a sub 10 sec SVX... no I am hoping that once I get my short black back (went to the machine shop for surgery today) With some new EM and maybe a small n20 kit to be in the high 12's... Lets see when the time comes...

If someone gives me their model SVX I'll have it do the 1/4 in 9ish without leaving my back. Does that count Joe?

If you can get a real live driver in there.

For the sake of fair play, it's gotta have a jockey on board. Riderless horses passing the finish line don't count.

I'd think if you took the RaceCar or SVreX II and put a turbocharged/standalone tuned EG33 in it you might have a chance at 10 second 1/4 miles times. I don't think that sub 10 second is in the cards...(love to be proven wrong!)

Re: SVX Straight line performance

Apparently my '95 runs a 15.9@86.4mph

But has 194awhp and will do .96g's while power braking to 1500rpms.

Oh, it also pulls 5 lengths on my Ebony (which ran a 16 flat @ 89mph).

Not to mention, it pulls 6+ lengths on a stock 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV. and even pulled 1-2 lengths on a stock Nissan 350z (I account this more to a bad driver, but thats still respectable.)

Dynolicious is a bunch of croc!

That's just exhaust you're tasting as you cross the finish line a half second later than a true two tone.

Just as soon as someone posts a 14.2 in a N/A SCCA "Prepared" class SVX. Until then there is no need to post a 13.8.
