94 fwdsvx vs.95 integra turbo 280 hp

I raced this guy at the track last thursday and it was a very close race has reacted better at the light with a half a car jump after I engaged the 100 shot I had a half a car lead until the very end where he was inching up and the very end.I ran my best time ever my fwd svx ran a 13.71at 104 an also it ran 8.82in the 1/8 at 82mph.He ran 13.79 at 107 an 9.03 at 85 in the1/8 but his 60ft sucks svx60 ft 2.18 integra 2.48.He wants to race on slicks,he have ran a 13.1 I have never ran the svx on a slick I'm borrowing some hoping they fit and hey we may have a 12 second svx,because I don't use the gas until the very top of first gear 6000rpm,and yes I don't know why some svxes won't shift past 6500 but my car will hit 7000 rpm each shift on motor or nos.I think if I shot early in first I will hit real close to a twelve,if I'm like two or three tenths away, the 125 shot is going in that same night.

Great time. Would that be the first 12 sec SVX? Did you strip your interior out?

No I still have a full interior,but I don't think I can win on a slicks remember he do have a very light car,but I'm calling zex tomorrow to rejet my fuel side for a little more top end with the 100 shot,whats the stall speed for an svx, my car will stall up to 3000rpm if I powerbrake it.Aamco told me a car stall speed varies mostly because two engines put out different amounts of torque,but for the svx I hear anywhere from 2200 to 2700.But anyway guys twelves in an svx would be better left up to an awd car with a stick but I'll give it a shot next weekend.

Walter, I was always under the impression that the stock SVX stall is 2500rpms.

Anyways, you need to get a digital camera sometime bud. People will want to see pics of your slip if you ever run low 13s or even a 12....

As far as I can recall, his is the first one to run in the 13's at all. Great run! I still want to see what a RWD SVX can do. Less power lost to the wheels, like on the FWD versions, but better traction than the FWD due to weight transfer. I think it would smoke!

Johnny (still a chance mine might go RWD one day)

True enough, but the fact that it was gutted almost completely puts it into a whole different category than even remotely stock or even modified. Not to take anything away from the SVreX, but it's not exactly a streeter at this point.

Johnny (I had forgetten about the SVreX though )

Walter, if you run a low 13 or 12 sec pass next week, mail me a copy of your time slip and I'll take a pic of it and mail it back. You're in NC, and I'm about 200 miles north of you in VA...

PM me, and I'll give you my address.
