new car has great handling! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ocbaud · 08-13-2003, 11:34 PM

well maybe not.

you see i have this long stretch of road by my house that i like testing the suspension on my truck out on, by swerving in and out of the 2 lanes going about 40 to 50mph. the truck always stays planted very well and handles and listens to what i tell it to do.

anyways...

i do the same in my car tonight going about 35-40mph and DAMN it felt like it was gonna flip over. even after i stopped swerving the car was bouncing side to side for a few seconds. kinda scary really.

OMG....I thought I joined the dark side with my honda, but a geo, a 95hp geo?!?!?! LOL!

Sorry eric

Gibble · 08-15-2003, 03:18 PM

Geos are like Hondas, if I'm ever in the driver seat of one, their better have been a life or death reason for my being there.

BigRed · 08-15-2003, 04:05 PM

Need to bolt a truck sway bar to that baby!! That and new shocks/struts would help.

Gibble · 08-15-2003, 04:19 PM

Or get out the ramps, drive it into the back of your truck, chain it down, then while you are sitting in the geo, have someone drive the truck...it will start handling better immediately

But seriously, you may want to get some new suspension for it

LOHRTBT · 08-15-2003, 04:53 PM

Im just givin him chit !! lol Its not a bad car to have for a beater at all. Looks very clean and well taken care of. I had a 93 Storm GSi that ran very well and handled like it was on rails!! But seriously Eric...if you decide to sell it soon...lemme know.

Please tell me its a manual not the auto?

TIMSPEED · 08-16-2003, 07:50 AM

Hey now! This is my daily driver:
Picked it up for $2000 and it runs like a champ!
