As for the 5spd. I recommend it. With the auto you could do most of the courses in 1st gear but when it shifts to 2nd around 50mph you have to slow below 30mph before it will downshift back to 1st.
With my 5spd/3.90 gears 2nd gear is good for almost 70mph (perfect) and I spend all my time in that gear aside from the start.

Once you're moving how bad can it be! My XT isn't bad w/o its steering over 5mph so I wouldn't suspect the SVX would be much worse. Besides I should be able to make up more with the lack of the extra belt!
What'cha mean by the shifts? My SVX doesn't do that??? It'll drop down as soon as the RPMS allow it to as does my XT6. 70? it'll be an autox car. Rarely do you get much above 50 if that on a good course.
