Driving the SVX is like flying a plane because….

I have to look at the instrument panel to see how fast I am going.

Yup the SVX will get away from me if I don't watch the speedometer.

Also the tach to make sure I am not driving 80mph in 3rd

Ain't that the truth?

I was passing someone the other day, glanced down at the tach and was astonished to see the needle zipping past 6000 RPM. Seemed so effortless.

I had someone pass me the other day and they got pulled over within 1/4 of a mile. I was happy I had been watching my speedometer.

I let my speedo get away from me the other day and paid the price!! 69(written down from 75) in a 55. Sux but at least the state trooper wrote it down for me

Yes the SVX gets away from me , but I think my 1991 5 speed Subaru Legacy Turbo was even worse.

Don't tell us.
75 in a 35 that's just being dumb.
I can see having a little fun on the high way and letting 75 go to a 100 or on that nice open Montana freeway going 120 with no cars and the cops don't clock you anyway they just stop to say be safe.
But 75 in a 35 that's going to kill some one some day. Think think think... then play.

.....cause it feels like yer in an F16 and draws the same amount of attention. I mean, an F16 driver hardly notices another F16, but throw an F22 Raptor their way and watch them oogle.

dude it was a joke, Im dumb but not that dumb, however I have gone 138 in my SVX on a 4mi straightaway, now that was fun, even if it was dumb it was the best time I have ever had, and yes teh road was 100% empty.

....Cause it makes you nervous on both take offs and landings.

You don't know if the tranny is going to lock in at take off or if the Rotors are going to warp at landing.

Next time put "Just Joke's" at the end.
You know in Montana it's 35 in the school zones and I've seen punks in there civics do close to 70(Red lined? how fast do they make them go now?) down them streets.

well my SVX is like a plane because it has duel jet engines in the rear but we dont really drive it so it doesnt matter right now. ~Dennis
