Yes I like to mod my car to improve it just like you but it seems that you have reached that point were no matter what else you do to your car it will not be what you want it to be.
Pontiac put out the Fiero in the 80's to be a great cornering car. That car lasted what 2 yrs. The US wasnt interested in it and only cared mostly about going fast in a straight line. There were special packages for f-body cornering like the 1LE, Firehawk,Comp T/A but thats what they stayed. Special editions. My 95 Firehawk could handle as well as a 95 Vette but they only made 600 copies. Why? Gm built these cars to what the people wanted. Cheaper fast straight line cars that looked good, handled better then a mustang, and felt like a sports car. Thats my take on them. The reason the interiors are not up to par with BMW and the Shocks are not up to par with BMW is becuase the cars were 20-30k cheaper then a BMW to begin with.
A 91 Firehawk was a 40K plus car brand new and I bet it could handle with a BMW M3. Thats because its closer to a BMW in that aspect. There was also a reason why only 25 or so of them were made. Most people didnt want to drop 40 grand on a F-body.
Just want to make sure I am clear. What your pissed about is that a F-body is not up to the same quality as a BMW and GM never did anything about it. Why would GM make a F-body to BMW specs when they have the Corvette and the Caddies?

I came in here to say I disagree with nearly everything you said. I could elaborate, but I'd rather ask, why do you think I'm pissed or hate my car? I haven't said anything implying that.
