Driving on stret with no swaybar?

How will this affect everyday driving? I am only going to have to do it for a day or 2 while my swaybar is out getting powdercoated. Will I have to take any special precautions? Thanks guys!

Ever drove an old car or truck from the 1940s or 50s? Thats what my '88 GTA drove like at the strip when I had the sway bar totally disconnected (checking to see if my times would improve).

It will be ok to drive (at reasonable speeds) but remember it WILL NOT handle anything like you are familiar with.

By the way, my car's front end would rise considerably at take off but my times were not improved.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to slow it down on the way to work tomorrow! Thanks again.

i drove my car like that for a few weeks before i got under my car for the first time and realized it was disconnected so dont worry. its not that big of a deal. it was different when it was on but not that big of deal just weight transfer.
