I find it interesting that you chose an F-body to road race with. These cars are not great handling cars at all. I'm sure you can augment its suspension shortcomings with a nice suspension setup, but this car is just not setup to handle well, in my opinion. When I say it doesn't handle well, I mean the feel of the car just doesn't cut it for me.

If you want to really have fun with an LS1, swap the motor into something light with an independent rear like a 240SX. An RX7 will also do nicely. Or if you want to be insane and eject yourself like a poptart you can put it in a early 90s Miata.

As for the Moser. It's not terrible at all, it just has a different feel to it that you'll have to get used to.
