Taking corners and taking names...

I know the LS1 rocks in terms of straight line acceleration, but how about in Autocrossing? Or just day to day driving on the street?

My friend had a 00' Z28 (he crashed it, lol) as a daily driver and loved it. It was n A4 and fun as hell to drive. Ive heard people say the ride quality is bad for a daily driven car, I must disagree, it rode pretty smooth and cornered well. The only thing that I didnt like about it was the blind spots, thanks to the long hood and body. But you can get used to that, its going to take alot more than that to stop me from buying one too!

I have a six speed. It's cammed and still has the stock gearing but I stil think it's a great daily driver. Anyone who says the ride is too rough or whatnot for a daily driver is either to old

or nuts.

I've got Eibach Springs 2" drop, Bilstein shocks, poly suspension mounts all around, Spohn LCA's, panhard, and torque arm, along with SLP subframes and a STB. The car rides on rails on the street, with a little tracking, but managable. The city bumps get a little hectic if there are too many, but I love it! Sway bars are coming next spring!

If you want a soft ride, drive a Caddy!
