Corvettes do... F-bodies don't. The Vette handles rough turns WAY better, no rear end jumping skipping out like our cars do. However, the F-body suspension setup is very, very good and on smooth ground you can pull more than 1G with decent suspension mods and good tires. I wouldn't do it, if I were you. There is no conversion kit, you'd have to fabricate everything. Invest in some good springs (like Intrax or any other well known brand of lowering springs), some Konis, Bilsteins, or KYB shocks and struts, a Wonderbar, subframe connectors, a strut tower brace, rebuild your front end with a poly rebuild kit, and ditch the 15 inch wheels. They won't take you far. Get a set of at least 16" wheels, preferably 17s. You'll be on the borderline of 1G in the skidpad if you do all of this.

In fact, all those mods MrJ mentioned could probably be done for the same cost of the Corvette's IRS!
