Subaru SVX

[burntrice087]

wow i was coming out of the grocery market today and i noticed a car that i couldnt recogize.....it was a Subaru 2-door coupe and it had the wierdest designed windows...i closer inspected it and found out it was an SVX with japanese script under it.....Iam not familiar with this car and would like to know when it was produced..if its its own model line and its engine specs

There is one at my school, the girl let me drive it But sorry, I don't have any info on it. They are quite rare though.

I like this car. It had a 3.3 liter six but not V6 but flat6 in typical Subaru fashion. I would really love to see Subaru take the chassis and engine of the Impreza WRX/STI and place them in a rakish coupe body like that
I am too lazy to search the net to see how many they made but I'm sure it won't be much (especially sold outside Japan)

they're not that common, the guy that owns a local tuner shop has like, 5 of them. nice looking cars.

If you'd like to find out everything about them you can go here http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ . I see them pretty often in New England, but they're still cool cars.

3.3L H6, 210hp, 4AT(Sole transmission...Someone DID swap in a 5MT from Subaru), AWD, 4 seater, anything else wanna know?

In my opinion, that's one of the nicest looking car I've ever seen.

Theres a (hot) girl in my school who drives one. I think the car looked kinda crappy, especially the boxy tailights, but until I realized the full potential of it. She beat both an Integra Type R and a 00+ Toyota Celica GT-S (both owned by students from my school) by 5 or 6 car lengths in a race after school, and I learned to like her car. She has the car stock except for a steering wheel.

I've always liked how the SVX looks, I would certainly consider buying one and throwing in a EJ25T and a 5 Speed manual. Would make a much better looking alternative to the ugly WRX.

And she beats them up with an AT...
Nice girl...

Wow, I raced one and beat it in a v6 camry....The car must have had problems (The one I raced). I love the way they look aswell!

Alright, it's got a 3.3L, 24 valve, DOHC horizontally opposed 6 cyl engine making 230HP @ 5400, 228 ft/lbs. @ 4400. Yes, it originally only came with the 4EAT auto trans, but several people have swapped in 5 and 6speeds sucessfully. It was made from model years '92 to '97, with only 14,400 or so being imported to the US. Like the XT before it, it had a nice low drag coefficient, of 0.29. The '92 had no speed limiter, but others were limited to 135. All models except for some '94 and '95 L models were AWD.

Racing an SVX from a stop and racing one from about 40+ are two totally different races.

My friend had one, and she'd let me drive it all the time, and it was damn nice.
Sadly though, hers ended up having the transmission give up on her, which was one of the only major flaws in the car.

I've seen a couple here in sydney over time but they are rare to see

An SVX beating a Hype R and Celica GT-S, not likely. But then again, high school kids think they can drive....

An SVX can beat them up. I've lost to one before, and I was driving a FD. Yes, you can say I don't know how to drive, but the true reason was I wasn't intend to race, and I just raced moderately. But when I realized that it's going to pass me, I floored it, but still lost...

lmao, good luck with that
