Snakeeyes,

First, welcome to the SVX family.
Second. you should know the following:
The SVX was designed and built to be a high speed GT car for high speed cruising in both goood and bad weather. It will never be a stop light drag racer. Most of the guys that have time slips from the drag tracks have 1/4 mile times in the high 16's (yes 16's).
Third, the weak spots on the car are the tranny and the rear wheel bearings. Add an ATF cooler & filter kit, & use synth. ATF or put in a 5-speed.
Make sure when the wheel bearings are changed that the shipping grease is all cleaned off and pack them with a good lithium grease.
Fourth, since you're in Mich., wait until the snow flies. Then the grannys in Vettes will disapear and you will rule the road.

Finally, enjoy the ride and many miles of happy motoring.
