Although it isn't a horrible chasis, you're gonna get slaughtered in H stock with it let alone what any changes would do to ya in the modded classes. If that isn't an issue go right ahead. If it is find yourself a $400 XT6 (preferably FWD as the fulltime 4wds have the air suspension that doesn't perform the greatest in an autox). You'll be much happier, parts are fairly cheap and plentiful and best of all its the big brother to the SVX. My guess is you'll love driving it so much your SVX will spend more time at home napping.
