Wuss.

Would you still call me a wuss if I had a truck infront of me who is passing another truck? I barely stop in time.

The 92 LS-L AWD has the "hidden" extra 37 horsepower. Duh

I've driven about 5 different cars, including a 1998 BMW M3 coupe, above 110 mph. My SVX is just as stable as the M3. Or to put it another way, I was no more confident in the M3 than I am in my SVX. I think the only issue with going over 130 mph is nerves.

As for going 130 mph in the rain, I'll never do it on my own initiative, but if I were forced to do that and given a choice of cars, I'd choose an SVX over any rwd, wide tire supercar any day.

I think you are exactly right. The SVX is very comfotable at high speeds and handles beautifly. My 89 'vette was scary over 100 compared to the SVX. It fealt like all the teeth were going to rattle out of your mouth.

Agreed - everyone thinks theirs is the best .......and that's just because not everyone's fortunate enough to be rockin an SVX

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Why does anyone think vette's are fast and handle good? Is it that they have never driven a REAL car?
