Front Sway Bar... Ok this may be a stupid question...but let me get this straight about taking off the front sway bar...
I figure taking it off helps by letting you launch straighter instead of aiding in "twisting" and the slanted launches these cars tend to have.
Besides the weight factor i guess that's it.
I was thinking...instead of taking it off for the track...i rathdr keep it on for the street...but i had the idea of making some quick disconnects like they have for all the offroaders out there
I haven't taken a look yet...but i bet there's room for it and i coulod easily make it.
What do you guys think?
Can you elaborate on what i said about how taking off the sway bar helps out?
Thanks!

By taking it off your front ends weighs less, and you allow you front suspension to extend easier because you eliminate the little amount of friction that is caused between the bushings and bar.
I've heard of people just disconnecting the end links. Its not that hard to just take the whole thing off though. You also get use to the handling fairly quickly. I equate an F-body with no front swaybar to the average car.
