I don't get it. The SVX stopped in the shortest distance in their braking tests, yet they gave it a low rating on brakes. ???
Also, they claim they don't like hte SVXs 'style', yet it's the car most prominently displayed in all the photos. Hypocrites. - Rob |

What's really funny is the SVX looks slow.... at first. 0-60, its the slowest one. Slowest in the 1/4. Slowest most of the time. But from 30-50, or 50-70, it ANNHILATES the competition.
heheh - Rob |

I wondered why that was. I think they may have launched off idle. I don't know.

re: ah yes
sorry rob. don't know about the bmw 325. but i had my ass handed to me by a bmw330ci last week. not a pretty sight. a old rival i had in highschool. was not a pretty sight especially with his girlfriend in the car. i think i'm going to tie him up and throw him in a ditch. once upon a time....i met a girl in college that complimented my personality. we got along great....until this $hitbag got jealous and spent all his efforts to ruin it. he succeeded but did he get the girl? no. you figure time will make that hate go away, but i think i hate him more now lol.
<shambles through maps to find a secluded ditch> |

Just sneak under his car one night and drain the oil, but let it drain into a pan. Replace the plug and go home, knowing you're officially even.

Wow, I no longer feel so bad about my loss to my buddy's '96 328i. In no way, shape, or form did he destroy me...maybe 1/2 car length by 70mph.

re: well it wasn't that bad
well it wasn't that bad. pulled away slowly about 1.5-2.0 car spaces ahead. it also was inching away versus just flat out pulling off. none the less. i could tell that i could never outrun him unless i made some changes to my svx. one of which is a 5 speed. that may even out the race some. from what his friends tell me, that jacka$$ always shifts at the redline. i noticed that the svx shifts at around 4k rpm then drops to around 2.xk. i did go faster once when he misshifted

Is something stuck behind your accelerator pedal? You should get at least 6200rpm in power mode I've never been beat by a bimmer - (never raced an M though )

I am pretty sure a new 330 could walk an SVX. However, the one I raced with the Aurora never even had a chance... just need to get the SVX up to par (at least) with the Aurora.

Racing
All this talk about street racing reminds me of all the times that someone thinks we are racing when really I was just in a hurry.
The one that was a really good laugh was when this punk in a civic thought he beat me, rolls down the window and then holds up his fingers for victory.
