It outhandled the goat by quite a bit. It was slow though, with only a whimpy little V6. That car was wicked fun in the twisties.
I have a sway bar set, waiting to go onto my GTO, so hopefully that'll get my handling improved. Eventually, I'd like to get some coilovers, or maybe an air shock system, and see just how well one of these babies will handle.
I am watching a movie about street racing, which is what prompted this question in the first place. They showed a 04 YJ GTO racing a 69 GTO Judge...both stock and the 04 handed the 69 its ass (which is what I expected).
