Would you rather....

A) WOT from a stand still (Gotta love that torquey 1st gear)
B) WOT from 80mph (gotta love that tall gearing)
C) corner DEEP into a few twisting downhill turns

I never get to 80mph in autox so my answers would be both A and C:

A - only with a manual tranny
C - only with Koni's

I wouldn't do WOT from a standstill or you may find yourself without 1st gear one day!

I've done all those many times and I can say swerving in the forest is the most fun.
But on top of that I'd rather chill at 2k.

I had just bought my SVX and as soon as I began barrelling down the onramp (with a few banked turns, gotta love a banked one) I could immediately tell this car could corner... Been lovin it ever since.
