1. Best above improvement: Sway bars, sub frame connectors

2. Least effective above improvement: considering the changes from original, nothing disappointed.

3. Next improvement: None, I sold the car years ago.

4. Above car handles IMO on a 1-10 ( 10 best Z06, 1 yugo): I'd give it a 7. I built this in the early 90s. It felt comparable to a Porsche 924 or a mid 80s Vette. Unfortunatly there was not much focus on handling cars back then, so I never bothered to try an open track day or autocross. It was only registered for a short time, so my street experience with it was limited. I ended up running it on the drag strip more than anything else and that gave me a very unique persective of handling set ups vs drag set ups and some of the actual give and take of the differences and their impact

Here is is with the drag tires on it at Bandimere.
