Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag Raw Data for SVT HP/TQ...

SVT's are listed from 3046-3126 depending where you look.

Many people have actually weighed theirs in under 3000lbs. I need to get off my butt and do it some day

12.82@109 seems unbelievably fast for only 256HP!!! You are saying 80HP drops 1.5-2 secs and adds 15+ mph! Ummm... Have to see that one!

275+ FWHP SVT's are only getting trap speeds around 101-102 (14 flat - no traction!)
Best 3L to date is 14 @ 99
Best 2.5 w/ Nitrous is 13.8-13.9 range (serious traction helpers - you see a trend showing here )
Best N/A 2.5 14.7 @ 94

Several folks are in the process of some special upgrades. These times should be broken first chance next spring...

You may have misunderstood me. I meant 256 to the wheels. It's about 320 at the crank. Here's the link....

Austrailian Test of the RT Spec "Stage II" upgrade....with testing

I used a conversion factor of 1.6 as they illustrated, it actually works out to 108.55mph. Sorry.

I'm actually seeing that you didn't misunderstand me. I think the powerband for the WRX is a little better than it's getting credit for. I'm betting that the higher TQ numbers are also getting it down the tarmac faster too.

Not sure....

Torque helps ET some, but trap speed is mainly HP derived. That's 15mph (or more) faster out of 80HP.

Still some amazing numbers either way...

From a roll it is really close! At the time I was pushing 171.XX hp and 160.1tq. My buddy has a WRX and he wanted to finially race now that he was finally broke in the car.

From a stop its givin the WRX will kill the stock SVT. From a roll it was about even for me. It would be even in second, then Third he would pull a little more than a fender then 4th I would pull him back almost even.

So some of the more built motor cars (DemonSVT 186hp167ishTQ) would probley pull from a punch.

But then were talking about two cars built for two different aspects.. One for Rally one for curves
