92 SVX vs 68 Camaro 396
Hey all.... today while on an errand in the country, I happened upon a 68 or 69 camaro... real nice shape, not white trash or anything. Anyway, he went around a corner and hit it, so I gave chase... he pulled little to about 50....then I stayed about even, and might have even gained a little til about 80-90.... so then we went around some twisties and of course I caught up... few minutes later we were both at a stop sign... he took off.... definitely has a lot more low end than the SVX, but I was still pretty surprised how well the SVX stayed with him... from about 45 onwards, it's pretty dead even.
The guy was cool, gave me a thumbs up, I returned the jesture. Just thought some people might want to know how the SVX stacks up to a classic musclecar. - Jim |

Jim,
Welcome to the site! I realize you're new, but on this SVX Network, street racing threads are not allowed. It's always better to race at the drag strip or race track... Sounds like you had a blast though... -Chike

That being said, welcome to the network. Bit weird of a contest, yours was. Old muscle vs. new finesse. Sounds like it was a sweet car. |

hmm this is new to me... i don't understand why people get so uptight when it comes to displaying power of their own vehicle. I don't street race much but every now and then I have to shut down civics w/ my svx.
Yes I know it's illegal.. thanks for the input though. Anyways, I just get suprised by how so many people feel driving a fast car fast is wrong. No harm in having a little bit of fun. I bet lot of you are also against driving 1 mile over the speed limit on a highway. Ah well. I expect a, do you know how many of you ricers have killed innocent people?, popping up soon for this. To each his own. ciao. |

Because you needed to ask I will show you, very graphic pictures of an extreme example, not for the faint of heart. Here

Driving a fast car fast is perfectly fine IN ITS PLACE. Keep it on the ****ing track.
