Why's my SVX so light?
I've driven a few other SVXs and noticed they feel like big lead bricks in comparison to mine. Their steering is tighter and they aren't as quick. Why would this be?

92s have a different type of steering system compare to the 94+ models and 92s are quicker/faster than the 94+ off the line.
Just a personal experience. I have no solid evidence. L

I know that there's two types of steering (speed sensitive and the other), but I've driven a couple of other 92s and even they have fealt like this.
By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your tranny troubles and I hope you get it worked out soon.

I hope my tranny issues gets fixed soon. It is about time though. The tranny does have about 65k on it's rebuilt clock. My thing now is rebuilt tranny that screws up every 80k or a new clutch every 60-100k at a tiny portion of the rebuilt cost. I just don't know yet.

whispers >If you build it (5spd) you will....<
ah nevermind. I'd choose the 5spd though. PLUS, if you drive it like a baby, the clutch will last probably more like 130-150,000 miles, maybe more. - Rob |

Unless I find a solution to this tranny issues, I will not be there at Reading. There is no way I am getting another SVX again at Reading. I am happy with Chloe at this time.
