The website was http://www.cars101.com/subaru_svx.html. The break-down of performance by year was as follows:

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but these tests are done to give a ballpark figure. To compare any test, everything has to be setup the same. These are not. Once all test parameters are published and are the same exact track, day, temp, driver, etc, I will believe results. Until then, they just give an idea of performance levels. Numbers are only numbers unless there is more data to back them up.

A big factor in your final 1/4 mile time is due to the air temp and your launch.
If you were 'saving the tranny' and launched from idle, you could have left at least 2-3 tenths of a second on the table. Also, there can be as much as a 3-4 tenths difference between running your car in 80*+ weather and 40-50* temps. I haven't taken my stock '96 SVX L to the track, and I won't until sometime in the September/October time frame. I'm going to wait for the cooler temps to come so my time will be as low as possible... -Chike Quote:

Agree 100%. Performance tests should only be used as a guideline to your car's performance.

This SVX FAQ page explains...
...the difference in performance due to air temp very well: SVX FAQ - Air filters
Our cars will make 17hp more when the air temp is reduced from 77* to 40*!!! -Chike

As someone who has owned a 94, 95 and 96 SVX (though not in that order), I have to say that my ass-dyno (seat of the pants feel) tells me that the 94 was the slowest of the bunch with the 95 being the fastest. Granted, my 95 was a little lighter; it was an L AWD as opposed to the other two being LSi's.
Now, I've driven Halistan's 93 and it pretty much cleans the clocks of all three of my SVX's I've had. Food for thought... or just random verbal vomit... you decide |

A drag racer's rule-of-thumb is that if you remove 100lbs of weight, it's the equivalent of adding 10hp. I'm not surprised that your '95 felt the fastest...
