Ok, getting my SVX in the next 2 weeks and plan on using it for some Auto-x and Track* events. Anyone out there able to give me some insight as to the handling and other characteristics for Auto-x and Track for the SVX? Please let me know if you've actually done any of this stuff with your SVX, I don't need responses like "It's 3400lbs it can't be a good track/auto-x car"

Items I'm planning on doing to help out the SVX:

Upgraded Pads
Crossdrilled and Slotted Rotors
SS Brake Lines
ATF Cooler
245-45-16 AVS Intermediate Tires

* Track events meaning Road Courses, not 1/4mile garbage.
Paisan,
Don't let anyone talk you out of autocrossing the SVX - it is a blast. Now, are there better cars to autocross? You bet. Are there cheaper cars to autocross? Again, you bet! A Neon is great - light, inexpensive to fix when it breaks, and they will break. Now, with all that said, I have autocrossed a '94 FWD SVX and currently participate with a '97 LSI. I'll continue this in another posting, because of length.
