SVX to the eXtreme!!
Drove the SVX to work today weather has been nice for time of year and didn't get enough SVX over the weekend ya know??? So driving home I took the scenic way thru the twisites and damn I just have to say I love this car!!! Got a wide open stretch out in the sticks where I live and know the cops, no other traffic, deer, etc and just hit the pedal and let her rip wide open. Damn no feeling in the world like SVXXXXtreme wide open throttle at 105, slow to half that for a 90 degree turn, then punch it again halfway thru out the other side!!!! Just had to say damn I love this machine!!!!

The highest I did in SVX: 130 (or was it 135)
I will never do that again though. Now-a-days, I only do 80s and once in a while, I hit 95. L

It was scary. Since it was raining and I had a truck in my view, I nearly pissed in my pants.

re: 130
i've done a little over 130 in the rain on the highway coming from south georgia to atlanta. it's quite a ride, blood pumping. but that was a long time ago lol. think i forgot the feeling now ;(
was shocked at the trip. took me 2 hours to make 240 miles. (of couse i did not go 130 the whole way, but it was great. no cars on the road either. |

When I posted 130, I am not encouraging people to go do 130 on the road. When I did it, I did it. But it is really pointless and I can only ask people not to hit 100+ on public roads.

The day I bought my SVX I got it up to 120mph on 95north. I had to slow down or a jeep cherokee would've got a 3700 pound enema. I was damn impressed with how fast the car went from 60 t0 120.
Now that I think about it that was a bad idea the tires on the car suck there's a bubble on the front passenger side. |
