It handles excellent, but you still basically..don't want to get too overconfident with the massive amount of torque it has that just simply isnt present or encountered in the I4 / V6.

The V6/I4 1LE use the same stock suspension parts as a BASE SS (not a 1LE SS which is an upgrade on top of that.) so the only real advantage is weight.. so yes it will out handle it..but not easily... and the excess power in the SS will easily make up for the minor gap it loses in handling.
I agree with this statement. The SS handles great right out of the box. I have had no trouble rotating it other than this last March at a wet autocross day when I forgot to turn off the nannies for my first run.
