How fast would an SVX be..
if it were a completely gutted 5spd? I was thinking about picking up a mustang gt or my buddy's 04 wrx with 300whp, but why spend 17-20k for something quick when I could get a cheap svx and strip it dry? It will be used for racing only.. I was wondering ballpark figures in the 1/4 (14's? 13's?) and how well it would handle with stock everything? When I say strip it dry I mean it'll have an engine with catless pipes, frame, windshield, and a driver's seat. Would this even be a good idea? How much would it weigh after this?

Might want to PM Benebob as they have the racer that was destined for the junkyard.

There is also a guy on the board (sorry forgot his name) who lives down in GA that gutted his SVX for the Grassroots Challenge. He ran a 13.8 on the quarter mile with partially functioning nitrous with a 4eat. I think his car weighs around 2900 lbs.

I just remembered dragstrip rules require all windows to be closed so I wouldn't be able to take them out. SCCA autocross rules require windows to be open though.. go figure.
