You need to have either:A) good driving skills

B) electronic assistance to control the car

If your friends fishtail when they give it gas it sounds like they lack the driving ability. Unless of course they're doing it on purpose for fun.

I hate stability controls, especially when the car wont let you turn them off completly. Turned off the aids on an sc430 and to my surprise it was a one wheel wonder.

Yeah, most of the F-Bods are like that. But most of these people saying they can't handle worth shit haven't even driven one. Or if they have they don't know how to drive. But, as I said before, I don't care what anybody thinks, I never did have an import beat me in my old car...the closest was a turbo-charged civic as stated earlier...and that was five ties in a row. But he had I think 18G's under the hood...with that kind of money I could have made my T/A blow any rice burner away by a long shot.
Point is, F-Bods may not handle as well, but they can handle enough. Very rarely in a race will you be caught up in twisties, and if the proper driver is behind the wheel that should be no problem. End of Story.

****ing Ricers.

haha, whatever makes you sleep better at night. What would you know about handling? you've never been on a track, you've never raced anywhere besides the highway.

You are obviously uneducated. I have driven an F-body many times as I raced one at Summit Point. THEY CANNOT HANDLE!!!! I have spent about $5500 in total upgrades to my car. Head work, cams, custom transmission including new gear ratios and a posi, and nitrous. Also intake, headers, exhaust ECU and custom TCM. The car has been lowered on custom coilovers. Has subframe connectors, strut braces, sway bars and urethane bushings. All work performed myself. It is a 1996 Maxima. As I said before, there is no streetable T/A that can beat it. Including yours.
I also have a 1993 Nissan 300zx TT that you can't beat.

i felt much more safe in my honda at 115 than i did in my GT at 100. We took my friends maro upto 130 and it felt like there wasn't a suspension at all. I imagine you get used to it when you drive the car every day and take it upto those speeds regularly. But its still a very discomforting feeling

This is the cocky *** ****ing attitude that most people don't like about ricers. They think there cars the shit, and everybody elses ****.

Sorry dude, I think you're just like all the others...I've met too many. If you really want me to believe you post up some proof of this so called big badass Maxima and 300zx.

For all you know...my car could have ran 8's or 9's...or it could have ran a 16...how the hell do you know?

****ing Ricers.

Maxima with custom gears and "posi"???

Let me get some of whatever you are smoking....

Why in the hell would I want to go on a track? This is ****ing America, not overseas. If I wanted a superior handling car to race on a big twisty track then I would get one. My car handled as much as it needed to...hardly ever are you going to need superior handling capabilities to race here.

****ing Ricers.

oh, the pot doesn't like the kettles outlook.

your argument went from the f bodys handling GREAT and being able to keep up with any car to... the f body's handling good enough... noice!

wow, go watch your nascar... ignorant redneck

the whole premise of the argument was that f-body's handle like shit. you keep saying it over and over again so i dont know what you're *****ing about. Its hard for me to believe you could know anything about driving if you've never been to a track and think american racing amalgamates to a straight line and light tree.

Yes custom gears and a posi. So are you saying its impossible? If so you are as close-minded and dumb as your friend Diesel. I did say that the transmission was custom right? It was a 4 month project and very one-off. The posi diff was taken from a 98 Toyota Supra. It is an automatic. If you knew anything about transmissions, you would know how to change the gear ratio by stacking plates and counting teeth to achieve the gear ratio you want. There were other things done to it too including a high stall convertor. Don't dismiss things you know nothing about. You may mislead someone.

Funny. You call me a ricer yet you are trying to make your T/A "handle"? Idiot.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

I don't think everybody else's car sucks. just yours. Why don't you post some proof of you beating anything? You probably never had a ***** am. Just a firebird V6 with a dual exhaust. Do you even know what a TwinTurbo 300zx is capable of? Do you even know what it is? I smell domestic rice.

Diesel: My ***** am is fast ya heard!

Me: do you even have your licence yet?

Hah most of the time its probably for fun. Just what Ive seen though.. you'd have to take it really easy on those turns. Hell, in a straight line their cars will wag the tail a bit and light up the tires. Makes for a fun ride though. They are mainly set up for the 1/4 mile as well.

To be perfectly honest, this post shows how uneducated you are.

First... you drive a front wheel drive family sedan. It is not a race car. Enough said.

Second... there are streetable LS1 powered f-bodies with well over 800hp on PUMP GAS, those same cars break the 1,000rwhp mark with race gas.

I'm sure they'd have tons of trouble beating your family sedan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif What 60' times do you get with that beast, 2.5s? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

My 88 Ws6 can handle, feels like the car is on rails.

My dad had a GTA as well and I can tell you right now, you are full of shit, dumbass. My guess is you haven't been in something that can actually "handle". Compared to a caddilac or other land yacht, sure it handles.

My bad, I didnt catch what I did until I checked on the Thread today, I meant to say 87, My car is a 87 Firebird Formula with the Tuned suspension package. It does handle and I don't think you've ever ridden in my car, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but skidpad has nothing to do with handling. I'm sorry but you just made yourself look dumb in front of the whole forum by saying that. Or maybe you thought you would convince them by making them think you know what you're talking about. I'm not going to get told my car can't handle by 1) Someone who hasn't ridden in MY car, and 2) Thinks that skidpad = handling. I mean, come on, I'm 18 and I know that, You're 32 and still posting on a caraudio forums trying to start arguments. You dont know me, and you haven't driven in my car. The measure of a man is how he relates with others in my eyes, and you're coming up short man. That's coming from an 18 year old.

I'm through

2.5s with a post trac? I don't think so. Try 1.7s. I can guarantee that I am more educated than you think. Yes there are LS1 powered F- bodies that are fast. I don't think he ever said that he owned a WS6 though. Even those aren't that fast.Yes my car is front wheel drive, but that has been proven not to matter too much now Mr. Educated. With slicks it is just as fast as most rear wheel drives. I'm not saying that I can beat everyone. However, there hasn't been anyone yet to beat me. I guess you also didn't read that I have 2 cars. Since you want to dismiss the 4-door, I'll sick the coupe on you.
