Handling questions

I have recently purchased a 1992 Rally Sport with a 3100 and 4 spd tranny out of it and I was just wondering how will this car handle? Keep in mind the chassis only has like 120,xxx miles on it and the suspension is totally stock and the car has T-Tops. I've never owned an F body or even driven one so I figured I'd ask about it from the fanatics of these cars. also I want to post up the RPO codes on it so someone could interpret them for me, but I can't find them, any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I'm unsure of what you mean.

With that many miles on a stock suspension, you'll need to do some replacing: struts and shocks, at the very least. Investigate SFC's and a Wonderbar.

Usually in the console.

If the RPO codes arent in the console check in the Rear locking side compartment. My Bro's 92 firebird had the RPO codes in there

"out of it" means exactly how it sounds, they are out of the car. and yes I do own the best looking buick century in the world and drive it on a daily basis but it has the 3300. also WTF are SFC's and WTH is a wonderbar?

I hate to be the one to chime in here and say it, but...........do a search. This has been covered thousands of times here. SFC's (subframe connectors) are a must for these cars to handle correctly and a wonderbar is a steering brace that tightens up the front end a little. Try spohn's website. I have a lot of his stuff and not a complaint yet.
