Andrew, what do you need all that power for, do you live in the jungle?(jungles in New Zealand?) Its a shame they paved almost every road in America(except N. wisconsin) Becouse i would love to have a Synchro with the SVX set-up. Ironically Americans have the most Sychro's/Suburus on the planet, its just too bad we've paved everything. For 10 years i drove a 90' toyota truck 4X4 V6 with a 4" body lift and 33"12"-50's mud tires on 10" wide rims. I sold it when they developed my favorite off road spot(in Florida) I drove to Baja Mexico MANY times and never once used the 4X4, but I used that horsepower..He,He! GOD I MISS THAT TRUCK.
