I had the same first impression of the cornering of the 945T -- but once I learned how it behaves, my opinion has changed. Head into a long sweeping corner -- like an on/off ramp. The initial body roll does not instill confidence in the driver, so your first reaction is to back off. But if you go against your gut instinct (to back off) and instead start accellerating, you'll find that you're at the point where the sway bars have started doing their job -- it actually doesn't lean anymore. And as you rocket out of the turn, your confidence is restored. (give it a try... you'll be pleasantly surprized) My guess is that this would be minimized somewhat with new (maybe poly) swaybar body mount bushings. I already have FCP's poly endlink bushings. But the reality is that this is a pretty heavy, pretty big car, with a semi-soft suspension -- and it's gonna roll some when you push it.
New springs, shocks and struts would make a world of difference in the way the car handles and rides.
The extra connector on the headlight harness is for foglights.
