I think you mean SVX. They are a weird looking coupe that never really caught on. I have seen a couple of them and they are descent looking but I couldnt tell you how fast they are.

Yah those Subaru SVX arent all that fast, ive raped one from a standstill and a 40mph roll on the highway. And that was when my car was all stock

Compared to a GT they are not fast at all, however, if he used to drive a honda civic, the SVX probably feels like a beast to him.

Yeah thats it.

Man...,. i couldnt handle that. Itty bitty witto window. awwwwwww.

yeah i remember probably about 3 weeks after i got my stang i ran into one of these, the guy thought it was pretty badass. we were both merging on the highway on a dual on-ramp and he guns it a couple times so i go WOT and smoked him. heheheheheh

but they are definatly a bit faster than most of the F&F wannabe ricers you see.

Slappy,

They are all wheel drive, so they prolly can move OK. But defiantely pre-WRX days, so they can't move like the new ones.

Yeah, i was dickin around on the net and found the consumer guide road test, they stated the 0-60 was 8.4 seconds.....

whoooo.... damn that's fast. <ROFL>

Consumer Guide® Road-Test Evaluation
When it debuted for 1992, the SVX had little direct competition in its price segment of the performance/luxury-coupe market. Few rivals in this class offered 6-cylinder power combined with 4-wheel drive. Somewhat eccentric in appearance, an SVX is extremely competent on the road. All-wheel-drive traction gives it fine grip in turns, even when the pavement turns wet. The firm suspension works with the tires to furnish excellent cornering grip, without a trace of harshness. Riding flat over dips, without jarring through bumps. the SVX remains well-balanced in directional changes. Electronic speed-variable power steering, offered in the Touring Package, is a desirable addition. Most early models had that package. Acceleration is robust with liberal application of the throttle. The horizontally opposed engine pulls the coupe strongly from virtually any speed, unleashing plenty of power for passing. We've accelerated an SVX to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds. :eek: Subaru's automatic transmission generally shifts well, but occasionally winds up in too high a gear to provide a small speed increase without downshifting. Gas mileage wins no prizes. We averaged close to 25 mpg in an early SVX (in mostly highway cruising), and 17.8 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. With the available power driver's seat, as well as the standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel, automatic climate control, and premium sound system, an SVX yields a very comfortable driving environment. Subaru claimed 4-passenger seating, but the rear seat lacks sufficient head room for average-sized adults, and would be short on leg room as well with tall people seated up front. Although the trunk is fairly large, its opening is quite small, so getting luggage in and out can become tedious. Subaru's "window-within-a-window" side glass treatment was supposed to reduce buffeting with the windows open. Although the inner window frame leaves a "line" in the driver's peripheral vision, most people won't notice it after a while. Toll booths and ATM machines can be a challenge, because the window opening is so small. Otherwise, visibility is better than in most sports coupes.

That has to be the dumbest looking goddamn car I have ever seen.

Ghostalker 11-16-2005 02:32 PM

they run about 8.7 0-60 and a 16.2 second 1/4... nothing to get worried about. they were all automatic... < the fatal flaw

Islander03GT 11-17-2005 11:25 AM

They're slow and their transmissions like to fall apart. Plus you can't order drive thru in one, much like a DeLorean.

Subaru marketed it as a budget porsche since it had a boxer 6. :rolleyes:
