That would be sweet...or even getting the very first 1.9 60ft by an SVX!!!!

My best is a 2.133...would be nice to run a 2.0!

[TomsSVX]

didn't Poweredx2 have a 60' under 2.0?? I think someone else has done it since some have been running faster times than myself. Did Phil ever pull it off?? That would be very cool to place the fastest 60' time

Poweredx2 on his 13.32 run used slicks on his fwd SVX and got a 2.06 60ft time:



Phil when he went 14.59 got a 2.17 60ft time:

Whats the average time with the stock tranny on the SVX on the 1/4 mile?
Whats the 1/4 time time with the 4.44 swap?
Whats the stock tranny 60 foot time?
Whats the 4.44 swap 60 foot time?

Which is faster. FWD SVX or AWD.... I know what the answer is but just wana make sure. I know the awd launches and the the fwd slippages.

It really depends on the driver and the weight of the SVX (awd L and LS models are lighter than awd LS-L and LSi models)

On the stock 3.55 gears, I've seen a 2.2 60ft time and a best 1/4 mile run of 15.37 @ 89.6mph by Bwana. Most driver's on stock gears run between 15.6-16.5 with a 2.3-2.4 60ft time.

On 4.44 gears, I have the fastest time thus far. I got a 2.13 60ft time on my way to a 15.06 @ 91.2mph.

P.S. The fwd SVX puts down more power to the wheels (less driveline loss) but is much easier to spin the tires off the lines.

cool so as of right now I already hold the fastest 60' time of any svx...except maybe the racer and the svrex. That is something I did not know...hopefully we will go out and get some runs in in a week or two when my bro is ready to run the s4.

Correct. The SVXrex and Racer probably could easily cut sub 2.0 60ft times, but they're not street legal cars and weigh around 2,700-2,800lbs. I wasn't even counting Poweredx2's 60ft as he used slicks, but you were able to still outgun him on street tires!

It's just an amazing sight to watch a 3,000lb DSM cut a 1.6-1.7 60ft on small 205 sized street tires. Those things just hook up and scoot!!!!

Wait! I thought I got under 2.0 on one run, just not my best time?....I'm gonna have to dig through my slips to find out.

There was just something about taking that racer down the track.........wow!

Dig that slip up Jesse!!!!

It'll be awesome to see a sub 2.0 60ft time on a street legal SVX!!!

Eh...maybe I just dreamt that? Looks like my best was 2.078. But I did look over 28 slips to find it. And that doesn't include all of them!! Thats alot of tranny abuse!

That is a lot of tranny abuse! But with cooler temps, you should head back to the track this Fall for some more once you fix your car.

Looks like TomsSVX's 2.005 60ft is the fastest by a street driven SVX.

what else is a tranny for?? I think they make them just so they will break...

Well 5 speeds were made for breaking, 6 speeds were made for breaking everything else.
