Canyon carvers?

How does the SVX fare in tight canyons and twisties? Being as heavy as it is I'm curious. I live only minutes away from Angeles Crest which is a great place to generate some brake dust...

Thumbs up

Go to personal lockers of SVXphile (Winchester) & newsvx (autocross)for a sampling.

Buy medium instead of premium octane gas, and with the savings by a motorcycle.

Even with my KLR, its the "LEAN" that's the thrill.


Careful not to drag a peg......

Personally, I can feel the wieght and it scares me. Although I will say that the car sticks to the road very well.

SVX as a carver

IMHO the SVX is quite competent, but keep in mind it was/is in "G" class for SCCA auto-x.

Since you say you have a bike, it's kind of like BMW's R series: fun, quite good, and capable of many high speed miles; but, not a GSXR1000 either.
