Mmm, dunno, I think the SVX will disappoint stock. Its just... different.

If you want a softer STi, a legacy spec-B with 6spd is a better platform than the current STi for roadracing, and is a nicer Daily driver.

If you want to just go luxury, Try the 1998 jaguar XJR's are cheap and good if you fit in one. 370+ HP stock can't go wrong, uses mustang cobra supercharger so pulleys exist to up the boost.

But the SVX if you want to put up with the wierdness is a very good ride. Just doesn't have the power or grip of an STi. Its an older car so relaiblity isn't the same and parts can be annoying at times since its a rare model not on the "genaric" subaru platform. On the plus side you much more sit *in* the car instead of *on* the car, you have to drive it to apreciate the difference.
