I guess I'm crazy but my car is slow to me and its a modded LS6 in an F-Body. What people consider fast or weak is just based on their experiences, I've owned some pretty fast cars so I'm not a good judge of what you consider fast. If yours doesn't squeak and rattle then you are a lucky man.

thanks, i guess i must be pretty lucky considering most people have the rattle problem. and i see your point about how it could seem slow to some people. when i had my stock 95 lt1 i thought that thing was pretty damn fast, but once i upgraded to the ls1 the lt1 seemed pretty slow.

yea it all depends on what you have been around or driven.... its like saying someone who owned a Civic & thought it was pretty quick stock 
then they upgrade to a stock LS1 Camaro and are amazed.. like when I first got my Camaro I thought it was pretty dam quick. now I think its slow as ***** & needs some MODS!!! 
but anyway can we no lose focus please....

Good suspension (namley shocks) does wonders. I currently have no rattles or squeeks either, they all went away after installing some Koni SA's (and not to mention the dramatically improved handling, feel, balance and control along with the BMW-like ride quality).

Don't see that happening cupcake.
Didn't help mine much with the sqeaks and rattles, or any of the others I have owned. I'll leave the BMW like ride quality alone, the handling is markedly improved though.

Im talking koni SA's on otherwise stock suspension rode very similar to the typical german sports sedan. Firm, very solid, but not jarring and always connected and planted to the road.

So you had koni single adjustable's (new, not used possibly broken ones) on your previous cars? What other suspension mods (wheels included) did you have at the time?
