This thread goes all GTO Vs then the first post about bikes again is dumber than ****!
And seriously guys go read up on GTO's before you keep bashing.
With all of the smashed strut bushings, blown front struts or old design struts, blown radius rod bushings, strut rub and boat ride alignment I would bet money that 4 out of 5 GTO's need suspension help.
I happened to get lucky so far knock on wood that my only issue was a minor camber tweak. Bushings are holding up and struts are the new design.
You guys need to also know the differnce between handling vs natural unbalance. Is it a real surprise that a egg crate like the STi and EVO rides harder? Hell my GF's Sunfire rides harder but it isn't because of the suspension being better it's called hard springs + short wheel base + weight.
Anyway I am to tired to waste anymore time.................

Soo.... an R1 cant hit turns faster than a 2.4 cobalt with exhaust and neons? Awesome.Obviously a car will outperform a bike in turns given the right amount of power/braking just for the fact that there is alot more of a contact patch than what a bike is capable of laying down. However, i dont think your cobalt has either to be passing an R1 in turns unless this guy either: a. Doesnt know how to ride. or b. Has this bike stretched and lowered soo much that it cant turn.
and hey I didn't say he couldn't have passed me, I guess he let me. Like I said I'm not a bike person, so I really have no idea what they're capable of other than they're FAST.

What's amazing is that a bloated Cavalier like the GTO has managed to attract so many douche bag drivers. Yeah STi and Evo suspension is harder, it's also better. Both cars in question also handle better than the GTO. Get real dude, the GTO is not a corner cutter, not even close. Lay off the kool aid.
Hey ace didn't say my car handles better did I, nope.
But what you do need to under stand is that you drive a ugly ******* egg crate that is only great at corners and the 1/8 mile. I chose a car that handles very good has great top speed, great 1/8 mile, great 1/4 mile, great trap speed. Not to mention it looks good from more angles than the front.
Have fun with your weak AWD grocery getting rally car!

Have fun with your Cavalier, as the only time you'll see the front of my car is when I'm getting groceries.
