I know Mike will smack me if I unintentionally misrepresent him here, but
Mike McClure used to have a '96 LT-4 and loved the straight line power, but
could never make the car turn (in SS legal form) like his '86 Z51. Don't
know whether that was due to the bars, springs, or what, I just remember
that he was disappointed in the handling.

P.S. -> Mike, sorry if I misrepresented you here.
