A little loose in some places but it has had some work done to make it handle much better than it did when it was brand new.

Fuck I thought it was me until I seen the different color lol that's how they should be driven

Nice work.

Handles heaps better than the under-steering pig I had.

I never get sick of watching this car, steve coad knows how to steer and the more than adequate HP makes for a nice show

Until RTS (Radial Tuned Suspension) bog stock Holdens didn't handle very well at all. RTS helped a bit but all Holdens need work to get them to handle like a true sports sedan should.

Looks like fun! Through it handles much like the trans am hill climb cars in Europe.

Yeah Mc Pherson strut and RTS made a world of difference to Holden's handling and easy as to radically improve on, simply replacing the bushes on the later suspension with good poly ones makes road holding 20% better with nothing else changed.

I honestly can't wait to see how my VP will go as I will have fully adjustable semi solid strut tops so I can get neg camber and max pos caster. Also fitting stiffer springs and big ass swaybars.

All I need is legal track like tyres (hard to find in 15" R60 215) and I wouldn't be surprised if I more than double road holding over stock

still have pre RTS chassis under my ute, crazy how quick the under steer can happen when pushing hard, a poor front end can be helped with a set up ass end,

drove a VS awhile back that was a rego'd track car, alloy (solid) bushes in some places, poly in others and some other material he was trialling, road noise was stupidly loud, but very stable and stuck to the raod

A friend of mine worked for GMH many years ago and when a engineer for GM USA came out they gave him a drive of the new Holden (pre RTS) and his words were "I don't know how you can sell this shit to anybody". He wasn't impressed with the handling.
