There's a way, and I don't think it'd be TOO much money as long as you shopped around. The big trick would be finding pistons that fit, but heck, the machine work could be done anywhere. Think of a 3.6 liter engine with ported heads, I'm POSITIVE you can find some power there, and maybe with some headers. Add port matched gaskets, extrude honed intake manifold, and you're freaking set. Maybe a tiny dose of nitrous to take care of those pesky supras. :P

for me it's all the small details
things like the winter wiper settings, variable speed sensitive wipers, the climate control to some extent, the inclusion of a fold down rear seat that can be locked shut, the doors that cover everything, the ergo e-brake, the bright switch. things like that, the small details that you never would think to yourself to put all fo them in a car i know that compared to current stuff it's not that big but in 92 it was a very major achievement

It's the design. That's what hooked me and keeps the heads turning. A week doesn't go by where I don't get stoped and asked if it's a 02 or an 03. (it helps that I still have a temp sticker in the rear window in lieu of plates)...

When I first saw the car, it was the looks. When I got in the car it was interior. When I worked on it, it was the way it was built. Just thinking about it now, the best all around greatest feeling I get from the car is the ride on the highway. It is a really great highway cruiser at 80 mph. It just floats along the road surface and sucks up bumps and medium pot holes as if they did not exist. The really BIG pot holes are still a problem.

Has to be the rear 3/4 view. Wow. I could stare at it from that angle all day.

The ride is a big plus alright! It is a very fun car to drive. The more I drive it, the better I like it.

I really wanted to vote for Tranny!, but then again, that would be kind of stupid, just a joke.
Design, I think everything is kind of matched here, no matter if there are some flaws. nik

It's got to be the half window. Its what sets the car apart from any other, get's the most questions, and I can roll them down and my hair don't blow, Ice, Ice, Baby.

The SVX has what I call a "Wow Factor." People continually ask me, "What kind of car is that". Then they get this incredible look on their face and say, " You're kidding; it's really a Subaru/"
A structural designer at work is in the process of buying a G-35, either in sedan or coupe form. I let her drive the 92 Pearly one day at lunchtime during some bad rain showers. She couldn't believe it. She said it was much better than the G-35 coupe. In her own words; " That is one badass car." She also has & rides a couple of motorcycles.
