Hotchkis or Bilstein shocks

....all while realizing that no matter what I do to my flex-flyer E-body, it will still not come close to a simple base Mustang, camaro or challenger made today. At least in terms of ride quality and handling. In fact, I bet I could spend a lot of time and money with every structure enhancing weldment and modern suspension swap into my cuda that is available, and it still would not be close.

Sorry, but that's 100% false. Totally wrong. And it has been PROVEN to be wrong.

The Hotchkis taxi, a 1970 4 door satellite, had lapped TireRacks test course a full second faster than the 2012 3 series BMWs they usually use. That's with the same driver (tire racks test driver!!!), the same tires, on the same course. A 4 door Satellite.

And I've driven a 2013 mustang. Not even the base model, the premium model with upgraded suspension. It doesn't ride or handle significantly better than my Duster. Yes, it's a very different driving experience, but capability wise they are not that different.

And I'd put my flexy flyer challenger up against plenty of new cars.

Now, if you don't want to do what's necessary to take your car to that level for whatever reason, that's fine. It's your car, budget, and prerogative. But to say that "no matter what" you can't have an e body that handles better than any or all of those cars is just false. And it doesn't even take as much as you might think.
