As for the back end wantin' to race you to the next corner, I offer this from observation of a less than cautious Stewie owner: they may have changed the suspension on Stewie with the "S2200s" in '04, but don't be lulled into any sense that the ability to doughnut your way down the street has been eliminated.
I originally started out in an early version (my friend's who wouldn't let me drive it any more forcin' my buyin' my own) and switched over to the later version.
Make no mistake: the ability to swap ends is still very much there. It's just that now it lies in wait n' when it pounces, it pounces with a vengence that's unlikely to be compensated for and corrected.
It's been a while since I drove the early version, but I have the impression that, while it came on sooner, it may have been the slightest bit easier to compensate for. But, it's been a year n' a half since I drove the early version, so to truly make that claim I'd hafta try 'em both back to back.
'Bottom line is: the end-swappin' is still very much alive n' very well in Stewie.
Be well.
