There's an original higher quality MP4 version of that on my webspace, here, which will play OK via Quicktime plugin or Realplayer.

This thing is quick, I mean seriously quick, and fast car quick :lol:
Do you know what I mean? No throttle to pull away, up into 3rd at 25 mph and it just pulls. Well impressed. Anyone is welcome to come and have a look and a ride.
Pete.

:D Super fast quick, absolutely effortless performance.
Nice to passenger on the test drive, oh and then toast the installation with a few beers.
Question: Is this the first 3.3 SVX 16"?

How much torque does it produce?
A bit of high density foam under the accelerator pedal should help to prolong the life of the gearbox, sounds very nice!

230 ft-lbs, 230 HP ish I think..

Due to dual volume intake plenum, amongst other things, very nice flat torque distribution
