I'm after firm, controlled, stable, forgiving, supple, planted and leech like grip. Perhaps "BMW-esque" describes it? Comfortable on the worst roads during daily driving. More than capable of driving to a road course, bombing it and wringing out the vehicle, and then driving home.
you'll love the CSK's with the Hypercoils. I had them on my 93 SE-R while I owned my E36 M3. But I didn't have the 3-pt FSTB, i did however have rear progress sway and active tuning RSTB.. it wasn't quite M3-esque, but it was still DAMN fun in it's own way.. a lot more chassis stiffening and better tires might have made a bigger difference... I suggest as many structural enhancements as you can think of... the chassis is night and day stiffer in the M3 and even more so in the G35 I had, but it still didn't handle as well as the M3... anyway.. I still loved driving my B13 after driving the M3, for different reasons.. it was wierd, the love affair with those two girls....Agreed.

QFT means what?? I'm old..
my point is that an old car CAN handle and ride well, and that there is no sense in making excuses because it's old, as our good friend SE-Rican was suggesting. I think we're 20/20 here Vex630, but I don't know for sure.. LoL

I also agree on the daily driver thing. My car has not been daily driven for over 6 years now. It is a toy that spends most of its time in a garage.
yeah, that's a totally different animal you got there, with it being a weekend toy or whatever... you bougt a G35 didn't you? or was it an M35?I honestly do not feel that my car for one handles horrible. Is it a road race prepped car? No but, it rides decent for my likings.

Remember we may not all have them same definition to what sh!tty is or what good is.
