The mirrors do look good but you can't see around an 8' stock trailer with them :) At least it doesn't look like an airplane going down the road lol :)

As for the corners, you would EAT ME ALIVE! GM shot themselves in the foot when they messed with the suspension before they brought the car to America. They soffened everything up so it would ride better. It's a big pig in the corners, you have to steer it with the back end. I've got a couple of gopro videos on my youtube channel of the car at the Bowler Trans Day at the Strip. I was running mid pack as far as lap times went. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN!!!!!

A good friend of mine had a 04 i think, the first year with the 5.7, and it was a turd. Some take off lingenfelter stuff, long tunes with full exhaust, and 3.90 gears really woke it up. He ended up putting some sticky tires on it and some really expensive coilovers and went autocrossing with me. Handled decent but made too much power to lay down efficiently in a parking lot. He ended up trading it for a vw R32 that turned quicker times in stock form lol

its hot-ish for a 4cyl with wrong wheel drive. A heads/cam/intake 6 liter is a whole different story.
