The SVX is actually too good in normal conditions to throw around, even flicking it into corners and left foot braking, feathering the throttle only gives a little powerslide before the front end pulls you back out again, still great fun though and fantastically controllable.

The JDM & Euro cars had different spring rates to the US cars which were allot softer.
You are absolutely right in what you're saying about the SVX handling.

Do you have any proof of the spring rates being different? We've speculated many times in the past that this might be the case. But we've never been able to substantiate it. It would certainly explain a few things if this is indeed the case.
