It does go around corners just fine. It won't hang with a Porsche, but it handles better than most muscle cars. I put the biggest anti-sway bar I could find up front and I used Koni shocks as well as decent sized 17 inch tire and wheel package. I went with 13 inch rotors both front and rear so it stops really well. The rear handles pretty well also for a solid axle with Caltracs. I keep the Caltrac bars set up a little loose for street driving so they don't lock things up while cornering. The S trac is a little better behaved than the Detroit Locker that I took out. The Locker would sometimes act a little weird around corners, especially if the road had a big crown or was uneven.
I haven't taken it to the track yet but it pulls hard on the street. I had it out yesterday and the g meter was showing 0.6 or 0.7 g's at 3/4 throttle on the street. It never spins the tires, just hooks and goes. Seems to go straight too which is a good thing.
