The fact that when the slushboxed-only Saturn LS2/LS300 first came out it could almost touch the straight line performance of the SVT-C even with its relatively untapped, untuned 3.0 Litre V6 tells me that there is some potential there and worth at least one raised eyebrow, even if the looks could get only a Frigidair to breathing heavy.
You do realize that theoretically, if the SVT-C's 2.5 was to match the displacement of that 3.0 that it would be at 240hp and very capable of mid 14 second passes easily, as with the increase in displacement, comes an increase in torque as well....A lot of people talk down about the SVT's power ouput, but fail to see that it is quite impressive for a mere 2.5 liters, almost Honda efficiency.  Hell, look back at the Fox Body 5.0 Mustang for god's sake, we can say the SVTC can almost touch that AND it is literally half the displacement.
um well if you call a half to a full second almost touching something then ok...you do realize that a fox body 5 liter 5 speed is a mid 14 second car STOCK...and a stock csvt runs in the 15's...i don't really see how that is almost touching it....
