In '89, I raced a Buick Regal T-Type, 350/350 combo, had a huge swaybar on the front. Told the old man I was going to take it off. "Won't help you at all, just wasting yor time taking it off." I took it off, and first thing I noted was this sucker is heavy and that equals slower, plus it was up front, not were you want it for a slow car (mid 12s). Second thing I noticed was the handling sucked but the car lifted higher at launch. If I remember correctly, it did pick up about .03 but because of the better weight transfer, I didn.t have to do huge burnout to get tires to hook. So, if a 12 second car is better without a front swaybar, think what your GT S10 will be like without one.
