Well, no harm no fowl, but based on my experiences, my T/A handled corners great. They were built for road courses and were quite respectible at the drags too.

When it hits the road again with larger torsion bars, larger sway bars and wider rubber, it should be a whole lot better. With any luck at all I will still remember how to drive it, it has been quite a while. Corners are where the fun is to me, but I also realize that not everyone agrees. Of all the big and small block cars I have owned and / or driven, the T/A has been the best all around car. Other cars can be built to do the same things quite easily with sway bars and so on, they can be made to corner quite well, even better than new with all the items available now.

Just talking about it makes me  :drool:

Fair comments Barry, I'll have to take the 'Cuda out for a proper drive up country and have some fun.  :naughty:


How far off is your T/A?  :dunno: :cheers:

In their day, AAR's and T/A's were good.  But compared to todays cars they have to feel like whale.  It's just not fair to compare any stock ebody to stock sports cars from today.

New Vettes with their HP to weight ratio and traction control make you feel like a superstar on the track.... even if you're a rookie!  I'd still take an ebody!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
