I love my quadrasteer. With that on, I think my Silverado has a better turn radius than my TA.

I definitely notice it more with my 88 Formula because I don't mind parking that in tighter spots. Like everyone else said, the LS1 gets parked in the back of the lot away from the other cars. The long nose sucks on both.

lol ya my SD turns on a dime thanks to the quadrasteer. Its hilarious watching a dodge neon 3 point turn and then I flawlessly make a U turn at the intersection with 2 feet to spare.

Quadrasteer is def. a must in a full size truck.

Same here, I know it's not a Ferrari, but it's still my trophy car, I'd hate for some old man to swing his door open a ding it, if I do by chance stop in a parking lot, I try to keep it at the back. The turning radius does stink, but as So-GT0071 said before, nothing a little power can't solve.

I used to "gooseneck it" when making a U Turn I knew I wasnt going to make when I had the T/A. Goosenecking meaning I just popped the gas just enough to swing the *** end around, nothing violent or anything..

I bet people thought I was a stuck up ******* too!

I dunno the wife's trailblazer cuts on a dime. I have literally done a u-turn on a narrow 2 lane no sweat.

The camaro has also done a u-turn on the same road (with the back tires smoking).
