Do you think, in your honest opinion, 4th gen f-body makes for a good cornering car?

One day, I'll buy a C6Z to tackle corners, but until that day comes, I was wondering how good is 4th gen f-bods in hugging twisties.

Thanks.

Well, maybe not the best stock but take a look at some of Sam Strano's accomplishments.

They can be very formidable.

Also for the record with just subframe connectors and a panhard bar I was usually good for consistent 1-5 finishes locally in my class of about 20-25 cars.

They can certainly hold their own.

With the right mods they are quite competitive...
As you can see from this article, it doesn't take much.

its just too bad fbody's are RWD, if only they were FWD it would be such a better vehicle.

You're joking right?

Anyway, I am planning to get koni's 4/4, strano springs, already have BMR SFC (waiting to be installed), umi phb and lca package, and already have BMR STB (installed).

I think my vert will handle pretty good after all that.

There is 2 ls1 camaros that I autox with and one is also a roadracer. A t56 sure makes for a better experience. All he has is R compound tires, 4.10's and a better clutch.

Hijacked account? lol

You a big fan of understeer or something?

SOMbitch

iTrader: (8)

I fix understeer with the gas pedal but admit w/sticky(rear) tires that can be much harder to deal with.....

Funkster

iTrader: (97)

Well that would be a little difficult in the situation of a FWD car.

SOMbitch

iTrader: (8)

Which is why I will never have a fwd car.... AWD I would consider for sure....

I would not totally wrote off FWD. they make a great DD!

if you want a dedicated track car, small and light is the correct answer. Think Miata.

If you're like me and want to do a track day three times a year in your daily driver, whatever. It's fine. You can track just about anything.
