Is something off? because it feels that way.

Its been a long time since i have driven a 20+ year old vehicle. Now that i'm driving a 91 Z28 i figured there should be no shortcomings in maneuverability. that being said the one i acquired may have a front end issue. going down the road making regular turns it seems fine. But when i cut all the way to left or right like going into a parking spot it seems to feel unusual. It kind-of slides as you turn, or at least that's the best way i can describe the feeling. it appears to be in alignment just fine. but i'm not quite sure what this could be. ANY help guys?

These cars all do that. Has to do with the fact that they are optimized for PERFORMANCE, not tight parking-lot maneuvers.

Sometimes ya gotta give up one thing to get something else that's more important to ya. This would be one of those times.
