Unless you have the auto trans, I'm still slower than you.



'94 Subaru SVX FWD....yeah, that's right, FWD. I promise you that I'm slower than the 1.8 Impreza L...and you're now a what??

co-mutter?? Is that something doglike, or is it you sort of talking under your breath??

commuter car, I'd understand commute...it's what I do from Sebastopol to San Rafael 5 days/wk.

I think a SVX is going to be faster then a 1.8L Impreza L... Then again it all about the driver

It isn't all about hp...how much does the little Imp weigh??

I know that the SVX weighs in at over 34xx lbs., so 115 in a manual trans. car that weighs 1k lbs. less would be faster and quicker than a 230 hp car with an automatic AND half a ton of extra weight to move...in addition to being FWD.

omfg you've actually kept track of how much you've put into your car? I erase that stuff out of my brain as soon as I've written the checks.
