Hello,
I just went to testdrive a 93 fleetwood to see if I liked the platform, and it was basically what I expected. The steering seems like it would take about 5 turns lock to lock though. Have any of you done anything to remedy this? I am looking for anything that would take a bit of the soggy, power-assisted feel down a notch. The car handled like a drunken hippo! I know that this is not the nature of the beast, but I would like a car that handles a good deal better. Is the Lt1 significantly more powerful than the previous engine? What options come with the fleetwood? Was it pretty hard to find a nice condition one for a reasonable price for all of you, how much would you guy's ballpark a 95-96 wood w/ low miles fully loaded? Defineteley a classy car, just want a little more kick (I'd be coming from a 98 Ws.6). Thanks for your input.
