Other than for aesthetic reasons, are they THAT much better that the stocker?

To me the only thing worth more is the fact it is from a GNX.  

Again, to me it would only end up being an expensive piece of nostalagia that would never get used (like  a lot of parts on my shelves in the garage  :bigeyes; ).  Now that I think about it, I should go work on my car and spend less time goofing off on the computer.   :yawinkle:

I think that probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen is the back end of a GNX rising up like a fucking stink bug when it does a burnout.

The GNX, of course...stink bugs don't do burnouts.

I wondered if a panhard rod system launches straighter or something over the standard set up.

Definitely looks cool.

IIRC, a panhard system launches a bit straighter.

The panhard bars only keep the rearend centred. The torque arm controls pinion angle and helps plant the rearend more that the factory 4-link did.

This setup provided little improvement in handling, most of that was seen in the tire/wheel combo.

But, yes. I would throw this under my car anyway... and then beat the shit out of it.
