i know but i live in an area where i rarely need to parrallel park and i NEVER go downtown literally so i never have to parrallel..only stall park so when it comes to it i really suck in this car..but any other car im fine even my van for gods sake is easier!

Remember when Top Gear was showing why the Evo MR was such a good drifting car-you had to b/c it had a huge turning radius! 
Seriously though, I haven't paralleled park since driver's ed. And fortunately have always been lucky enough to avoid the situation. I know I can't, so I don't. :P

Turning radius doesn't have much to do with parallel parking, the technique's the same for every car.
Just practice with it and get used to it. I don't have a problem at all with the SS other than the fact that it's MUCH longer than it seems like it should be (FWIW, it's longer than a Honda CRV front to back) so spaces that seem like you should fit, sometimes aren't big enough.

iv driven f-250 dualies with better turnning radus ...but thats the price you have to pay when a manufacture shoves massive wide 18" wheels on a car with not enough wheel well.
iv had the SS for ovre a year and i still misjudge parking spots. and i fear having to make u-turns unless its a 3 lane wide road. The wifes redline has a excellent turning radius however.
if the poor turning radius is due to poor lock to lock then yes , it will affect the ease of parallel parking. being able to turn sharply helps alot ...
