so how is the handling of the ss/sc compared to that of the rx-8, 350z civic si etc??

Well an SS/SC can out-do a Corvette in a solum couse according to Car & Driver. As for your exact list I'm not sure as to the RX-8 or 350Z but again Car & Driver or Road & Track did a test at I believe it was VIR and the SI had to drop out do to the brakes being cooked after 2 laps where as the SS could keep going and going with no issues. Basicly the SS PWN3S the SI in just about ever catagory.

Oh but the SI has a nice interior Ya know cause cars with nice interiors do sooooo well on the race track and all.

nice bc my friend has an 07 si and he thinks his car can out handle mine (ss/sc) ...i raced him when i first got my car and won by 1 car length but i want to race him again and see if i can improve the lengths... haha...thats awesome the balt beats the vette in the slalom so im pretty sure it owns every other car then??

performance wise assuming both have equal drivers the SI is not on the same playing field as the SS/SC. the SI is more on the feild of a 2.4.

the ss/sc's handling is pretty good. i'm more worried about my tires not gripping than anything if i take a high speed turn. all in all the car is a great all around car. goes, turns, and stops! lol.

i have that car and driver. they said the brakes on the ss/sc never faded no matter how hard they pushed the car, which was pretty sweet.

Ditto. I read that a while back also. Just wait, the turbo should have better handling and defenately better brakes!!

i think the handling on my cobalt is horrible, it has too much understeer and body roll, even tho i have a strut bar, but that means time for new springs and struts and sway bars

JimHarr18

what year is your car? i have an '06, just installed a front strut tower brace about a month ago, but even before then my body roll wasn't bad at all. i am thinking of a rear sway bar as well, cause the front is stiffer, but the handling on my car's still very soild. 23,500'ish miles.

06, with 20,200 miles on it, and i think its horrible, compared to some other cars ive driven

I would think the rx8 would out do all of the cars listed in an auto x course

the stock ss/sc also beat the 06 mustang gt in that issue around VIR, so the handling and brakes worked fairly well

thought the 2.4 and 2.0 share suspension and braking systems.

ACTUALLY THE SS/SC AND SS/NA USE DIFFERENT SPRINGS AND I BELEIVE A DIFFERENT SWAY BAR

celicacobalt

I thought someone came up with the same part numbers for 2.0 and 2.4 springs on here.

I also read a thing on car and driver, that the ss/sc outhandles the non-sti wrx.

My friend has an 05 bmw 325i, and we did a bit of 'zig-zagging' one day, and I was on his ass the entire time, and his car handles like an absolute dream!

awd cars really dont handle well at all. with a few exceptions. but subarus dont handle well at all. i know many people with them and they have never impressed me. you want a great handling car check out the miata
