What we see as a "penalty" at lower speeds is the SVX's saving grace at triple digits. The "heavy" feel of the cars on an autocross course, translates to a "planted" feel at speed.
My car, being pretty much stock, has a confident, if a bit numb, feel on the two lane blacktop. Out on the interstate, however, the car settles into it's stride. In their stock form, these cars have some LONG legs. I like leggy redheads
