Default SSEi Handling
Just looking at cars on edmunds.com and SSEi'* look to be at the top of the game for handling when compared to other ser2 L67 cars.

97' SSEi- .80g
97' LSS- .79g
97' GTP- .79g
97' Regal GS- .77g
97' Ultra- .76g OUCH!

Looks like h- bodys out handle the w-bodys.

I don't think that the average person could feel .01 g'* though LOL



May as well call it pretty even.

In my experience of driving SSEi'* and my GTP, the GTP is much more responsive and nimble.

The SSEi still handles good for a big car though.

I know, I was just kidding around. The PA on the other hand I can see as being a not so good handler.

The SSEi should outhandle an F body as well. That'* been published more than once. The SSEi is a more stable platform than the GTP which is why it will withstand more G'* laterally.

Seriously? Can it outhandle a say 99-04 Mustang as well? Some punk hs kids realize my car is faster than their Mustang but think they can take my "boat" in the twisties.

Fantastic, you got those Energy suspension end links? The FE2 Suspension, and some good soft stickey Rubber?

The only suspension work I have done are the Monroe Sensatrac shocks w/ my stock F41. I haven't done much research on handling but seeing my skidpad has grabbed my interest now. I'll do a search on the energy suspension end links. Heard of em but don't know what they are all about.

Do look into them.. They will be an improvement obver the old and busted stock endlinks... I can't say it enough, but they are worth every penny..
