seraph......
your fwd must have been junk. ask randy which is quicker off the line. my fwd launches off the line. remember with fwd there is no power being sent to the rear wheels. all of it is directed immediately to the front wheels.
i will post an open challenge to any n/a awd in the 1/4 mile.

If I could have an autox page I probably would but that's more driver oriented, not the car. I want to know about the CAR, every subaru car/make and model and how they performs at all states of tune (modifications). L8Rs

I ran in 1/8 mile race here, in Ensenada, on August and on September. The first time, we were out because we broke out the time of the bracket (bracket 4 was 10.01 sec). Our time was 9.686 sec.The next race, we ran in Bracket 3 (limit time 8.01 sec) and our time was 9.421 sec. (using a mix of premium gas and race fuel )
I don't know if with those times we can run the 1/4 mile in close 14 sec. The mods in my SVX are dual exhaust, cone air filter, spark plugs bosch platinum 4+. Please believe me. I have the timeslips. |

But FWD cars also have less weight.

I drove an FWD SVX at Metric a few weeks ago. Subaru definitely retarded something in the car, because there was no tire squeal, and no torque steer. This car was mint. So, I think they reduce off the line power in the FWD models. Oh, and BTW, I think they do the same in the AWD ones. Those tires should squeal a bit, and I bet the AWD sensors automatically reduce power off the line for a smooth (slow) take off. Today, I experienced it. I put my SVX on a slippery surface, and floored it. All four wheels were spinning in first gear to the redline, and then the system retarded itself, and the engine slowed up. Something tells me the ECU is even more advanced than we thought . |

Subaru retarded the torque. Bastards. You know, I always knew after flooring my car at 30 and it downshifted into 1st gear and practically launched me into my back seat that the engine is way more powerful than the computer lets it be. |

I stayed out of this long enough. A while back Heavy Balls and I were going to see which car is faster, the '94 SVX L or the '92 SVX LS. I can attest that the SVX LS AWD(Mine), did infact beat him right off the line. After the first second or so Kenny's FWD SVX L sure enough caught up to my pearly and pulled away. We tried this over and over only to reach the same outcome.
So, the '94 FWD SVX L is faster than the '92 AWD SVX LS. This outcome is due to these facts: 1. I weigh more than he does, therefore more curb weight. 2. The rear diff and driveline and all working parts on an AWD SVX add weight 3. Fluid levels were extremely close, both car's near 1/2 tank gas with all vital engine fluids full. 4. I have a subwoofer and amp in the trunk, thus again adding to the overall curb weight. So, this should help to shed light on this debate. In the 1/4 mile, I ran pretty consistent 17.04's to 17.07's all night. The numbers would show quicker times, but I wen't out that night to see what ballpark figures the car is capable of, not to ruin my tranny. Keith

Wow. That's resurrecting an old thread!

It appears as though no one here cared to take into account that the FWD SVX has a 3.70 final drive, versus the 3.54 of the AWD.
And CopsodyX, if you're still around (haven't seen you in a while), the AWD SVX is sluggish off the line with the FWD fuse for one main reason: You are turning your slip-reducing AWD powerhouse into a 3.54 final drive FWD slug. When in AWD mode, stomping on the gas will cause the torque to be split in the most appropriate manner in order to create the best acceleration possible (keeping in mind that this is all within the limits of the 90/10 down to 50/50 capabilities of the US SVX tranny). When in FWD mode, you take that capability away, and only put your torque through the front wheels with a final drive that is much too high. If I were to race you in my FWD SVX, versus your AWD with the FWD fuse in place, I'm highly confident that mine would have better acceleration off the line, have a faster 1/4-mile time, and probably a slightly faster trap speed. This is all due to the lower final drive. Not dissing on the AWD, because I actually like it better. This situation is just fairly synonymous to someone dropping in a 4.11 final drive into their AWD SVX. The gearing makes all the difference. |
