A body sports car handling

Somebody please chime in here. There a book called something like " The history of the Plymouth Barracuda". It has a black cover with a red 1970 383 cuda barreling through a turn. It's full of magazine test, and reviews from the 60's- and 70's. If you find it, read about the 69 barracuda. It shows the attitude of degrees it leans through a slalom at 60 mph. It's in a few different road test. The results are about 3 degrees more than a 2008 SRT 8 challenger. That's with bias ply tires, and whimpy sway bars. It shows how many G's the car will handle before losing the rear end. I believe it states that it's 79 G's, and the SRT 8 is 83 G's. Somebody here must have the book, and know the exact figures. There's nothing a Dodge/ Plymouth A body can't do that a new car can, by simple, and cheap updating. But, the windows will rattle, the truck lid will smack the body, and it'll ride like **** for everyday use. It just doesn't have the amount of sound insulation, and epoxied fixtures, and plastic junk that makes today's car weigh in at 4000 lbs. That's why when you drive a new car it so easy to do 100, and in an old car your sense of motion is so acute. All of this is the charm of an old car. sometimes it feels like you are flying a bullet ridden B29 bomber back from a bombing run over Europe. Speaking for myself, my opinion is mass produced automobiles are going to be made like crap. If you ever tore one apart you'd wonder where you got the guts to drive it. Just cut off a 1/4 panel, no the skin, the whole panel. It's no more than a type of corrugated cardboard box, except it's mostly sheet metal. That said, you car turn it into the best it can be.It doesn't matter what people say. There's no sense in modifying a suspension, that you can't afford to rebuild in the first place. That's just dangerous. At the same time nobody has the right to tell you that you haven't the right to own a car because you can't afford too. If it didn't excite you, you wouldn't inquire on how to better it. If the car bug is in you, there's no better motivation to make the impossible, possible, you'll find a way. Good luck bud.
