Anyone raced a Subaru SVX?
I was wondering what is in those cars, turbo I'm sure along with all wheel drive. I've seen a few around, they look fast. Anyone raced one and does anyone have any engine info/horsepower info about them?

Yeah, my friend had one. We did not officially race, but the CLS is faster by about 2-3 cars.

I've heard from several mechanics, and auto radio shows that those cars are the biggest POS made by subaru.
I always did like their unique look.

yeh, they are unique looking. I like the windows on them, it's like a two-in-one window on both sides. They're also like the toyota celica's t.v. commercial for the action package--"Looks Fast" and that's about it. ANyone know the horsepower/torque ratings?

Ye olde SVX specs:

3.3L flat 6, 230hp@5400, 228lb/ft@4400. Mid to high 7's to 60, mid 15 in the quarter.

Call it what you want, it was unique.

Thanks IntegraVT, so it should definitely give a CL (non-s type) a run for it's money
