Might be doing some auto-x this Sunday. Will get vids if I do. The X felt a bit... sluggish today. Hope it clears up tomorrow. I haven't tore up a track in 4 or 5 years.

In all seriousness though with a little more power and some very good struts/coils and tires the SVX would be very competitive in auto-x. I was 10ish seconds behind the fastest car today and had none of those things, but I really have to praise the Never sway bar. Even with factory struts I was handling quite well under the conditions.

YOU want to know a secret? The SVX is quite fast for the purposes it was designed and produced.

I will concede that point but also point out the relative nature of speed. :P

Only reason they're scary is because you keep them well fed with LeBaron wiring.
