I have never driven a race prepared SVX at speeds like that. But in my experience with a loaded car, oversteer due to a lack of rear tire grip is not the case especially with a good suspension system. Tail braking is really the only way you can lose yourself aside from pushing too hard through a turn. The car is very stable at higher speeds, I feel a spoiler would cause more drag than what it is worth in stabilizng the already stable rear end. BUT i could be dead wrong with a prepared car and how it effects the weight ratio from front to rear
