Just get a s pack, they aren't as powerful as the sv6, but it's still a great car. You will pay a premium for a storm or svz. The 175 motor is easy to work and the 6 speed manual gearbox feels great. The only thing is that when the car is older than 80k, the LSD will loosen up and spin one wheel.
Honestly, for what you get, the s pack is the way to go. They are usually fitted with fe2 suspension and they are great to drive. If you save a few grand by getting a s pack, you can spend the saved dough to make it a better car than the storm or sv6.
You really don't want to pay for a sv6 badge when really, you only get about 15 extra kw and foglamps. Plenty of s packs have the 6 speed box, and it will still pull ripper skidds.
