Our weight is hurting the numbers. Lighting up the SVX to WRX weight would do amazing things for 60' times, 1/4mile times and even the ability to launch harder. I have yet to be able to lauch my Stage III above 3K without spinning the tires. And that includes heating the tires in the box. I'm running BFG KDW2's. I'm considering going again on saturday. Maybe I'll take the AutuX tires along and see if I can get better grip with them. There not drag slicks, but If I can get them heated up, they should work better then the street tires, right? |

Mike, you should benefit if two things hold 1. the weight of the autoX tires/rims is less than your KDW2 tires/rims, and 2. you get the autoX tires heated up to the point where they start to stick As you found at the Ripken event, when the Kumhos are cold, they actually stick less than street tires -Bill

torque, the sti are 300/300 so im sure it close to the svx numbers if not more, but the torque comes in a lot lower then a wrx or evo i agree the svx is heavy and would be hard to get it to put out some good 60's ether case, you guys have a upward battle, hard to find parts and hard to get a good power to weight ratio, but im glad you guys are out there getting it done =>

Ya, one of the guys at my work has a 2002 WRX that is still stock. We played around a little( just a couple had take offs from some stoplights on the parkway with no traffic around.) We seemed to be fairly evenly matched. The only advantage I had was not having to wait for the boost to build up.

3.3 with a 7,000 rpm redline is verry nice my thoughts are if they made it lighter and a nice 5 or 6 speed when it was introduce would it have turned into a boy racer car? or was it best they kept it automatic and a luxury touring car? just a o/t thought

You could have made it a little lighter and given it a manual while still keeping it a luxo tourer. Lok at the competing cars. The 3000GT/Stealth were more luxo then sports car and yet still got manuals
