lol nice.....

those are rear Subis too

 

AWD Drive Subie...

[woot]

I keep telling him..

"Pop. One word. KONI!"

 

"Pop. One word. KONI!"

Yes, please. Hahaha.
I'm so glad most of mine is gone, it was not fun watching everyone else carve out the track while I wobbled around slowly.

 

what so you mean by slow. i wobble fast! lol

 

how are those Subi's on driving anyway? haven't heard much about them

 

It's a 4000 LBS car. So, it is VERY smooth. It is also surprisingly quick.

Performancee 0-60 is about 6.0 - 6.5 seconds, I forget, with a limited top speed of 140 MPH.

They handle like nobody's business. Even though they are BIG cars, they don't feel big at all.

On long trips, they are very comfortable. It really is a "Grand touring" machine.

 

I was watching a guy in a 1970 MG Midget last weekend at an auto-x. I saw him lift both inside wheels off the ground a couple of times.

 

those svx are beasts, my brothers x gf had one. and i would take it out everyonce in a while.. that thing can take some abuse

 

Man I've always liked the SVXs.

 

definitly need Koni's

 

You think the SVX rolls...look at this poor guy.

 

With just a few mods, even a mini will roll over like the family dog. Why go around cones when you can go right over them...

 

^^ Both of those are so wrong on so many levels...

*laughing*

 

thats an awesome pic tom! i love the face in the background in the light blue shirt.

 

damn, good pic.

I'm gonna complain about stock zx3 body roll though, i've been having problems keeping the car straight after coming out of a hard turn, comes down with such force throws the car way off balance.. driving tips to counteract that?

 

Brake sooner, turn in later. [thumb]

 

Best I can tell you is to be smooth on the wheel and get on the gas smoothly but a little quickly to squat that rear end down as you exit. But it's kind of hard to explain, you just have to practice until you can feel it. It's not exactly fun in hairpins, just do what you would do in sweepers and see if you can scale it down.

 

body roll and sidewall flex in the same shot. awesome.

 

svx

haha those cars were the biggest mistake subaru ever made. the "svx" was an all wheel drive boxer 6 that weighed in at a whopping 3800 lbs. btw- automatic only!

I think calling it a "mistake" is a bit strong.

It was a leading edge car in its day.

BTW, it's 4200 LBS depending on option packages.

That same car in the picture took a class victory in GS at the National Subaru challenge against an Imprezza.

[race]

 

My Dad had an SVX.
