Thanks Bill, you would be surprised at the cornering potential of these cars, I was! When I said the front suspension was similar to the early Camaro's, I meant in basic designed. So modifications, and setup for a Camaro should offer similar results for my car. So far all that I have done to the front is changed from a 1" sway bar to a 1-1/16" with Energy Suspension bushings, and links. Plus KYB shock's with what I assume are stock H-Body V6 springs. On the rear the car sites on Third Gen Camaro 2" lowering sport springs, which lowered my car about 1". (a 15 min. swoop) The only other mod to the rear is square tube lower control arms that have solid aluminum bushings. There is no rear sway bar, and I need new shocks. According to my Kenwood stereo with just these mods the car is already capable of 1G. Of course the 225-45/17 and 245-40/17 G-Sport's help that number a lot, but you would be surprised by how flat this thing corners. I think the car has a natural low center. The highest point of the car is 52", the 4.3L V6 site less the 6" of the ground. I like the balance of the V6, and an other 4.3L is in the works. When finished it should be about 300hp in a 2500# car. No record breaker, but should make for an interesting ride.
