Twisty Fun wit a Saturn!

There was a female-carbon-based-lifeform operating a Saturn and just hanging on my rear bumper on the twisty country two-lane road. As we approached the back-to-back 's' turns (Recomended Speed 35MPH) I heel/toe shifted to 3rd (kept the RPMs to 4K i think) and accelerated through the turns with nary a wheel-squeal and was in 4th accelerating through 70 MPH at exit!

She almost lost it trying to keep up through the first turn (!) and was reeel small in the mirror (too many car lengths to estimate) after exit and i was slowing to the speed limit. Of course she stayed on it until she finally caught up and started huggin' the bumper again - but i had already made my point.

I LOVE THIS CAR.

LOL, good job.

That's what I do sometimes also, a SUV comes up to my *** on a twisty, and I just nail it through. Losing them completely.

At the end, they just stay farther back, afraid I humiliated their monstrosity.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but the strut bar will not yield any noticable improvement in handling. All it does it stiffen a bit up, an already very stiff chassis. For better handling you need modified shocks, springs and anti roll bars.
