Poor man's Ferrari!

I don't think this video's been posted to the network. But found it somewhat interesting...not only is the svx considered a "poor man's ferrari", his version came with turbochargers!!!

I don't know where he came up with the twin turbo idea but that SVX is normally aspirated. Obviously he didn't bother to open the hood, or should I say bonnet.

yeah he completely discrediteds himself with that comment. It's statements/videos like this where rumors originate

Wow.. that was terrible.

50% of the hassle? Ha.
I loved how the turbos kicked in when he floored it, really shows.

He probably felt the step down into Power mode and saw the light and fig it was . He did mention the lag.

And it says he's an editor for one of the biggest car magazines in the world.

Well there's not quite as much lag on that car now since I had the Ecutune chips fitted (and I've taken both turbos off!). Thanks for the posting I've seen my car in a magazine before and now she's a video star!

Don't be fooled by that. Stinko is faster than snot running down a roosters beak!

Is that really your car? Pretty nice.

Yet, it begs the question. Why were the turbos removed? I prefer NA but the power of the dark side...

It was sarcasm.

But you knew that...right?

johnboy615 · #15 05-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Yes, 'twas sarcasm but it is indeed my car. It's got a new registration number and 19" wheels now but the paint is still as good. Oh, and the radio cover still wobbles!
