These are the same people who've probably never driven a 4th gen F-body.

Re: 12 second CRX or a 6spd Fbody
I have driven quite a few F-bodies, through a couple of generations and by no stretch do I granny them 
However this being said, My experience has been this (and the sway bar trick is one of the oldest) with it's factory suspension the F-bodies when braking FEEL like they take serious nose dives and when cornering seem to have pretty excessive body roll, That was one reason I decided a while ago I didn't like them, plus they seem to lose traction all to easily in the rear end. maybe it's because of the steeper rear ends they come with I don't really know, I just don't prefer them.

Suspensions stock, unfortunately.
I also have the completely base model formula, so I dont have the 1LE or what not "racing" suspension you can get on fbodies. My shit handles like a boat - but most fbodies have the 1LE.
Definately didn't buy it to handle, so I'm happy.
