Welcome back, Nick
Now that I'm back in an SVX we really should try to meet up sometime after you get her running again. I must admit, getting back into an SVX a few months back felt "right" in ways I cannot describe.
No, the car doesn't handle like my BMW 545i... nor does it accelerate like it. But for a complete driving experience it's really hard to put your finger on exactly why the SVX just works so damned well. The steering is numb, it tends to plow in tight corners... but get that car out on a decent fast road and it just feels like you could go all day. Hell I drove mine back from Denver and there was nary a whimper from my usually rather fussy back
Once I get the 545i out of my garage (sold it... but the buyer isn't picking it up until sometime next week) I need to get mine up on jack stands. The front brakes are dragging a bit... hopefully the calipers aren't in need of a rebuild because the only other transport I have left is my motorbike... and it's been a little soggy to ride that lately
