I bet on the cornering, does it wallow around sharp curves taken fast?
I had a 77 Smokey And Bandit 6.6 TA (W42 engine, it seems) TransAm (factory front and rear sway bars, and other goodies), half the fun is the power sliding around mountain curves (I lived in Tennessee during that time of my life, everywhere was around or over a mountain). I did everything in the movie except jump a bridge, duh, and drive down a river. Never used the brakes for the turns, as it was done in the movie, even across the interstate u-turn.
The car would do a 180 on a two lane road at fifty miles per hour, end up pointed the other way, in the other lane, as I said no brakes used. Posi-traction a requirement for that.
It did the straight line thing too. Speedometer was round, 1/3 0-50, 1/3 50-100, four grand in drive was pointed to the "m" on the M.P.h. at the bottom of the speedometer. I never got past that, fast enough.
Add power steering or not, change the steering wheel, better CONTROL.
