I have to admit the C5 bump steer is scary. Drivin the Z/28 on an onramp then hit a bump doesn't give you a pucker factor like a C5.

I couldn't disagree more. It's an issue with both cars. The difference is that with the C5 I feel like I can recover if the *** end ends up kicking out. In an fbody it was/is a crapshoot.

C5 and C6 have very little bump steer compared to most vehicles. If you think bumpsteer in those cars are bad, go drive some other shitboxes and you'll then appreciate how they really are. Keep in mind that a Corvette is really light, and reacts more to bumps than a heavy car would. That isn't bump steer.
