seems like the only thing these ricers have on us performance wise is there cars handle very well, what could be done to one of ours to make it handle like one, or is it even possible?

The front suspension sucks.

Turbo6inky,
Mark (Marcus@ montecarloss.com) now has the Tall LBJ's for G Body's. Look in the Vendors section of the forums. They're made by Howe.
Larry.
I was reading something the other day and it was mentioning GM liking to use a narrower then normal distance between the inner tie rod ends so that when the steering was turned it also helped to induce understeer.

As Turbo6inky notes above, the Regal is very large, very heavy, and has a high center of gravity and a fairly ancient suspension which was designed for "safe" understeer. So to make it handle like the better imports, RX8, or Accura, for ex, requires major weight reduction, and major suspension redesign. But as the Monte guys have shown, you can make it a lot better without a total rework.

I do know how to make it run in the 1/4 like an import - just pull off 2 plug wires.

My car handles like an import just by putting my cap on backwards and slumping down stupidly in my seat with one arm on top of the wheel and the other fondling the shift lever.
The hard part is driving stoopidly.
It is "Project G Force", and it is here:Hot Rod's "Project G Force"I remember an article from the 80's or early 90's where they took a Monte SS and put on a Hotchkiss system. It pulled over .9 g's on the skid pad
