	It strikes you as odd that locating the suspension properly under
all cornering loads would be a step in the wrong direction?  I have seen a
GT on the track, in a high speed turn, with slicks bend that panhard ban
so that it was spraying sparks on the track.  I dont think that bar was
designed to be bouncy, especially in a really high speed sweeper.  I can
tell you from experience that the car is much more stable at speed,
especially in right handers where the bar is compressed. 

	Also, due to the increased roll stiffness of the rear sway bar, my
rear tire lifts less because the body is not pulling it off the ground as
much.  It was a positive upgrade in every way, gone is the plowing under
steer and a more balance 4 wheel drift is possible.
