With 4.44 gears, your SVX will get a 2nd wind around 60mph, just when you had enough of the person in front of you on the highway.

There is this one 8 mile stretch of 3 year old, perfectly straight, concrete road in the middle of nowhere that I do sometimes go to...

Right now it is already really strong around 60. The trip from like 50 - 100 is faster than I imagined it would be when I first got the car. I can't wait to do a few more things to the motor and get a little more power out of it though!

My apologies though, I really didn't mean to hijack the thread.
