XT6 vs SVX Dragstrip TONIGHT
Place your bets, place your bets! TomsSVX is taking a beater XT6 to a dragstrip vs a bone stock SVX. Both are automatics with the SVX being stock. The XT6 has

1) JC Sports intake,
2) Lightweight ProECM Pulley,
3) Custom exhaust and header,
4) Ignition advanced,
5) 4.44 gears

XT6's stock have 145hp vs an SVX's 230hp stock. Stock XT6 weight is around 2945lbs vs SVXs what......3450lbs? Both have awd, autotrannys. So who will take the win? \

My $$$ is on the SVX. J/K

Yeah, I'm starting trouble I know.

XT6 to 60ft, all SVX after that. Unless someone snoozes at the light.

The lighter weight of the XT6 wil let it launch harder. The bigger HP/TQ of the SVX will let it outmuscle the XT6 after 60ft.

You neglected the vital portions... Tires and if they are both awds. An fwd XT6 in good mechanical shape with proper tires should be able to take the stock SVX through most if not all of a 1/4. Then again with YT driving I'll throw my money on Bill hitting a brick wall!

And guardrails with other members cars. I don't think I'd even trust you with my newest ride. It has a top speed well above BillSafe at a cool 85mph.

Did the xt6 ever come with a manual?

Don't need to. PA state law says its legal for a child to ride on the back of a motorcycle provided their feet touch the footpegs and of course footpegs can be welded on at any height.
