I know a lot of guy's remove them for drag racing but how much will it hurt with the street manners?

If you do not car about vehicle control, go ahead and remove it.
If the car is only drag raced or moved at speeds under 5 mph going on and off trailers, remove it.
The stock bar is barely adequate with stock sized tires. Many people run wider tires today. If weight savings is your goal, there are better ways to shed weight.

Its fine if you carry your reproductive organs externally

If driving on the street I would leave it on.

If you want to pull it off when you get to the track, it isn't that hard.

These cars (stock) handle like crap on the turns already. Why would you want to make it worse?

Maybe I am over-biased. I am not a drag race guy. I like to go fast in the curves. The thought of removing anything that helps the handling of a car seems odd to me.

made a difference on my 68 RR, was mushy without it. reinstalled it with the poly stuff and what a difference!

The thing will dive like a submarine in corners !!!

Ran my GTX without one hooked up for years (too lazy to hook the end links back up, did LOTS of racing) if you have good rubber and 15" or larger wheels you won't notice it gone as much.

That being said, GTX does already have stiffer spring than most cars and I have semi-new XHD leafs out back so there are some advantages there other chassis may not have out of the box.

Not the end of the world if not there.

So your car already has a front swaybar?
Simply disconnect the SB links and wire it up, and get back to us, I suspect there are uses, drivers, cars, roads, etc that will never never notice the difference, no one here can make that call. Get back to us on your findings for your preference, your car, your driving style, your tires, etc.

I'm waiting for someone to note how a swaybar prevents weight from being transferred and preventing that increases grip. There's a lot of tonque in cheek in that comment.

Plenty of cars from that era didn't have one. If you like a boaty feel that's the ticket. But I would keep ot myself.

I'm thinking this car don't have one, is this how you want your car to look while your doing donuts?

The car has one on but I noticed that others from this time period do not!

I run a front sway bar...AND...a rear sway bar....compounded with sub frame connectors. my friends are always amazed at the lack of body roll going into a corner at 40mph. Its a very comfortable ride...its a smoother ride than my daily driver.

I don't have them on mine and it handles ok for me. But I have wide front tires and the torsion bars are a bit stiffer.

if you don't take corners fast your fine. if you just plan on going fast in a straight line like the car was intended to do then your on the right track by losing the weight.

Personally, I'd take it off and put a BIGGER one in its place, but that's me...
