i never consider anything manual a fair match for an svx. if you get a rare auto gsx or gst, the svx should win. the svx will defeat many auto cars, but not many auto owners race, so i guess there is hardly any comparison.

Racing Report
I have found a near perfect match for the SVX. You are probably going to laugh.
Car: 1992 Subaru SVX LS-L (3.3L H-6, Auto Tranny) Opponent: 1992 Dodge Daytona. (3.0L V-6, Manual Tranny) Place: Twin Elm Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Track Length: 1/4 Mile (1320 Feet) Track Conditions: Two Lane Blacktop Air Temperature: 18 Degrees Celcius (64.4 Deg. Farenheit) Time: 0230 Hours Date: July 12th, 2003 Because the guys weren't standing excatly at the finish line, they couldn't call the race. The second one, apparently I had him by about 6 inches. Not bad considering i was about a carlength and a half behind off the line. The computer likes to take it's time to figure out what it's gonna do after you mash the gas, doesn't it?

You must bow seven times toward Gunma (once for each of the sisters). Then, repeat "Forgive me for my transgression" six times, each time touching one the six stars in the subaru emblem, in order, with the BIG one last.
Oh yeah, then go wax your SVX.

couldnt be perhaps that the GSX has a fiberglass body that it runs a decent 1/4. hmmm..... i raced it on the highway and even though he did take me off the line his accelleration maxed out at 70 or so and i whaled passed him tokyo style at around 85. even the whoosh of his turbo didnt help. i just consider Eclipses to be inferior all together minus one that i drove. red 95 5spd with auto clutch = no shift time = FAST as hell. crikey. has anyone ever seen that before? a standard tranny with no clutch? its amazing O_O!

Hey, if you can't find it, GRIND it!
Which probably explains why my sis destroyed her '01 Cavalier, but hey, it wasn't mine!

Randy - I see your driving style hasn't changed much after all that time.
