No offsense, and sorry to hijack the thread, but if you're hard on the car maybe you picked the wrong one. The SVX does not take kindly to being beat. You're going to incur frequent and costly repairs. This is true with any car, but the consequences with the SVX are just that much more severe.
Anyway, from what I've heard you'll lose some of that nice freeway efficiency that you mentioned. There's always a trade-off. The solution there is to find a suitable 6-speed for a really tall high gear.
As for reliability, there's some question concerning the 5-speeds. Those transmissions were built for lighter cars with much less power. While they're certainly sufficient for everyday driving, they probably won't stand up to daily thrashing. Somebody who actually has a 5-speed in their car might be better able to answer that.
