I'd like to see both pictures of engine compartments and an engine out of the car if it's possible. Also, if it's not too much trouble, could I see some undercarriage pics?

Thanks in advance!
Mike

The coeficient of drag for the SVX is 0.29 (the prototype boasted 0.24). If you want some great shots of the engine bay, go to the Yahoo club site and click on the Photos link. There is a wealth of great photos there. As far as "out of the car", I don't know as I've seen any shots of an engine removed, though I'm sure they're out there. I have a nice artists rendering of a cutaway on my site at www.geocities.com/aredubjay (http://www.geocities.com/aredubjay) . I have a larger version if you'd like me to e-mail it to you. Just let me know.

I know Shotsky took some photos of an SVX engine on a stand when I took my car up there to sell it to him. He gave me a ride back over to where I was picking up my other car and they had one on the stand. He's heavily involved with the SVX group on e-groups. I'm not sure how that's set up, or if he ever put the pictures up anywhere, but I know he took some. Maybe I'll go take a look, if I can figure out how to get there.

Here's his profile from Yahoo. http://profiles.yahoo.com/shotsky1

I didn't see those engine photos in his briefcase, and I didn't see them in the egroups thing. His profile has an e-mail address. Maybe he's got them and will send them to you.
