Personally, it's been the back of the car that is harder to handle. If you had said something about aluminum or geometry or something to keep the rear end planted, then I'd agree.

Let me interject something out of the blue here - the bi-annual VCA-SRT AX forces owners to use their car to qualify, then use a never-seen Gen VI or V (or whatever we're getting up to) to compete. Let's start a motion that after the AX is won with your own car within your region, and you bring it to Detroit to compete against the SRT guys and their car. Then you'll see lots of interesting Gen 1 vs. Gen 2 vs. Gen 3 smack talk followed up by head-to-head results.
Not sure if they interchange as it wasn't a technical article I was reading, it was an article on history & differences between the Generations and improvements. member GTSbud has a complete set of alum. A arms and spindles for a Gen2 in case someone wants to upgrade their Gen 1 with Gen 2 stuff. Send him an PM.
