Hammer it at 80+ MPH in Drive and just let it rip, one hand on the wheel, like being on rails. I wonder if just getting under some of these wiggly cars and taking apart/tightening everything would change it alone. This is an aspect Chevrolet R&Ded probably a few million more times than any aftermarket company could afford to.
You came to Detroit and didn't PM me 
Just kidding Mike, hope you enjoy the new ride. |
I don't doubt that is how you feel, but you have to remember that everybody has their base frame of reference.
If you have driven a car with the rear-end hard mounted to the frame (especially at length and at 10/10ths, and then drive one that is not in the same manner, I promise you, you will see the difference.
I am a handling whore and when I push a car hard around corners and you have less than perfect pavement or quick transitions, I want the car planted, direct, and stable as hell.
Trust me from someone who did the swap last month and has taken the same roads, corners, quick lane changes. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
But again, it is all based on one's previous experiences and baseline reference. The same can be said about speed and acceleration, everyone's base line is different.
