If it helps, the dealers in Sunnyvale and Palo Alto can't be more than 10 miles apart. Those towns abut each other. PA is by far the ritziest of the five to choose from, which would either be good or bad.
Santa Cruz seems like it may be the safest bet to me. From what I know of people in Los Gatos, they were pretty into speed, so some kid working there may have a lead foot.
Couldn't even tell you where Santa Clara is, so I'm no help with that one.
Maybe pm Stoplightwarrior, and see what he recommends. I know there are guys from up there around, just can't think of the names.
Also, cafords.com is mostly Nothern CA guys. Might be able to get some SVT feedback from them. I wish I had the problem of finding a good svt dealer.
