TomsSVX sets NEW RECORD!

The bar has been raised yet again! The fastest 1/4 mile time ever for an AWD SVX was laid down today at Atco Dragway. I will post the unedited runs on youtube and link them shortly!

Tom ran a 14.0 first run, and on the second pass, a 13.9 on street tires!!!!!


I left before the third run because I had a two hour drive home. I am unsure of the outcome of the third run.

Tom just dropped by before he headed out to philly.....13.9 is his best run, as Mike said. Needless to say, he is stoked. I cant wait to see what he lays down with the built engine....

13.935 at 96.1 mph... Still tells me I have a lot of top end to open up with the cams... I always sleep at the tree in order to secure a good launch... I am not bracket racing, the reaction times are not factored into the final ET... Cut a nice 1.83 60' but with slicks I can improve upon that.

Oh BTW that was a fully converted sr40det silvia 240... Very nice car and it ran very nicely

Unless the slicks "stick" so much that the R180 surrenders to the might of the S/C EG33

The axles will let go before anything else does... Thats the way the car should have been built to begin with.. they are meant to be fuses in the driveline
