Default Trying to talk my brother into an SVO.

How do SVOs differ from 4cylinder foxes other than the motor? Suspension wise i guess?

same tranny?

Well other than the motor being quite a bit better, the suspension setup is amazing compared to other 4-cylinder foxes. Adjustable Koni's all the way around, 4-wheel disc brakes, 5-lug, Traction-Lok differential, Hurst short shifter, the list goes on and I'm sure there's quite a few I'm leaving out. Just try to get him to drive one, that should get him hooked.

Well, the drivetrain obviously, but as 65 said the suspension on the cars was pretty much top of the line then, and more than holds its own now. The transmission is either a T5 or WC T5, the gearing is a bit different but the trannys are interchangeable.
