Handling: Is It Really That Light

[NT TURBO]

Each to their own. Runs on rails is my opinion. And without buying a Lamboghini what doesn't need improvement for the track??

Handling probs?? No, Nyet, Nien, Non, Nay, Nuh

If experiencing any understeer try 42 psi front and 36 psi rear (17"), does it for me!

And agree with NT Turbo 'runs on rails' and I dreeeaamm of owning a Mercelago (grunt personified) :D

For the majority of times the handling and suspension is brilliant. Working where I do we put the cars through all sorts of things. They are far better then previous model falcons or commodes. That said I believe, like Esky, that the rear suspension is too soft. Was down the "great ocean road" the other weekend and found that while travelling at a constant speed around a corner, if there was a large dip in the road then the rear of the car starts to float and sway abit. Never lets go but unnerving at least. Funny thing is, my wife was driving at the time and she wasn't going hard and she commented on it, how awful it felt. Now shes a good driver but not a person who notices everything the car does or anything. I found it very interesting that she noticed it. Keep meaning to chat to the engineers at work about it but always forget. Hopefully its something they change in the BAII. They always change the suspension on each upgrade! great cars on the whole but!!!

I have never been in a comparably priced car which is so stable at high speed (160+).

Have always thought the Ford suspension was too soft. Briefly driven a few Falcons, and the amount of bounce you get on certain roads, makes it feel like a boat (pass me that sick bag please ). Still get this occassionaly with the new BA, but the suspension is very much improved for sure.

Once Whiteline have finished working their wizardry on my XR6T, I would love to give it to you for a drive around the proving ground. :D

They managed to eliminate the mid corner push , understeer tendency. Forgetting the G readings, it really feels alot tighter on entry and exit of corners, which means I can get more power to the ground.

Hit some speed humps outside most schools these days and the rear end doesn't bounce around at all!!!

So what’s the proving ground address? :idea: :idea:

[ONDOLE]

Esky, what are you getting done from whiteline and at what cost ?

Cheers.

[Guest esky]

Dole,

Your best to give them a call. They can give you the low down on what's being done, what has been done and what will be going on.
