Again, I know you go in straight lines...I zig zag. Lotta variables you can change to make that Goat a handling dream.
Yup, just a street cruiser with far better than stock handling.
These are not cars for the twisties although it could be done.
Front sway is 33mm and rear is 26mm so we'll see what that does.

Of course it's all about the combo and how it works with the rest of the chassis.
Exactly why I went with QA1. Running their adjustable shocks on the C5 and they're great.

Hell, just putting 18" wheels on it helped the ride quality a good bit.

Stoked to see what NA beast ECS and I cook up. I'm trying to cap it at 600hp so it remains streetable and doesn't need DOT slicks. Probably in the 427-440 cid range and a cam with lift near .600 depending on how the heads flow.
