first of all the modern vanilla sedan can not do .9 gs. that would be a
very good number on a sports car. also the weight bias on a older car would
have been pretty poor on a RWD sedan of the era. If I remember correctly
(pretty iffy) camero and must. set up for good handleing would have been
about .79 or so. KB
