No, but I have driven a 1995 Trans AM and a 1988 Mustang GT with comparable suspension setups and the 1988GT was MUCH more agile feeling even though the steering wheel weighted up about as well as a grand marquis's. My Z06 is much more agile, yet, although a lot of that is superior suspension.
Weight is such a bastard when it comes to enjoying the feel of a car. To make up for weight, you have to add a ton of stiffness, and the car gets all jittery and washboard rough riding.
Much past 3200#, and I lose interest.
