I always hear what a great handling car the Barracuda "S" is, but compared to what? Other muscle cars? Corvettes? The "S" was offered with stiffer leafs/torsion bars, sway bar, wider tires etc., but how did this benefit the handling compared to a stocker? Did it result if a very poor ride quality? Also, what improvements besides nitrogen shocks and radial tires would benefit an "S" model?
Thanks.

Thanks to everyone that responded.:) I am on the lookout for an early Barracuda and just wanted to set the issue straight concerning the handling. Looks like I'm in for a treat once I find the right car to buy. I'm familiar with Mopars (my dad worked for Chrysler=Chrysler family) and my first car was a '65 Belvedere/273 so I look forward to getting back into Mopars. It true that nobody buys a muscle car for the delightful handling, but its nice to know that the Barracudas weren't so bad at handling.
