0-60 is about 6.5-7.. quater in low 15's high 14's.. i've seen em tubo'd too.. they do ok.. but more expensive than its worth ..
as a daily drive though. fantastic.. i considered one for a long time.. they are AWD aswell.. great in the wet.. kind sleek and sexy lookin..

Anyone know the exact engine size? I believe it's a 3.0
They would be much faster if it wasn't for their weight also!

they have a 3.3 litre engine. I believe it was a Boxer 6 engine. not a flat 6, but dont hold me to this. I went and looked at one the other day as well at a dealer.... he wanted 6K it was a 92 with 128K miles. white with black leather interior... i really like these cars.

yea thats kinda the reason i want one, the seats are very comfortable in them and i kinda like the way they look so it would be a perfect daily driver to just relax in... but if the trannys are known horrible then forget it cause i have no money at all for one when it blows.... hell my DSM sat there for 5 months with a blown tranny before i sold it lol...

The terms "boxer" and "flat" are just nicknames for a horizontally opposed engine design. They are the same thing.
Anyway, like Zate said, talk to the techs at Mastro they can lead you in the right direction. In fact, Jon, the mechanic I always deal with there owns a SVX so I'm sure he could tell you alot about them.
