Camaro / Trans Am WS6 Handling

I would have to agree, they don't handle worth crap stock.

I have a 96 Camaro SS with Eibach Sportline's, it really button the car down, however, still not as stable around a corner like a E36 or E46 M3.

I did have a chance to drive the last year Trans Am WS6, was thinking about trading my 96 SS in for it. I can tell you, stock it was to loose for my taste, without it being lowered with some Eibach's. Was it fast? Ya, it was pretty fun. The LS1 out breathe the LT1 in the upper RPM's, however the LT1 have an off line torque advantage, by 3500 RPM, the LS1 pulls harder. Better breathing heads.

Again, it's difficult to compare a NSRT4 or a CSRT4 to a RWD Camaro or Trans Am from a Dig. They have torque & traction. It's just difficult to put that down to get good times in a stop light or drag race for FWD vehicles. Real comparo of power is on a roll.

I like all performance car, every car has an distinct advantage. Just don't like all the hater's that think there's no other car that's better than the one they drive.
