Hey what are the handling characteristics of the isuzu's like compared to the v8. On and off the road? Does the weight make noticeable difference? Does it feel like the chassis gonna snap sometimes with the suzy?
Thanks

I have not driven a V8, but I have no problems with the handling, although any comparison will depend on the load. As Kaa45 comments, you won't snap the chassis. The steering, being power assisted does not notice the extra weight.

you cant point and squirt on road like you can with the V8 but you can walk it anywhere you like in low gears...

The handling is pretty similar, but when pushed REALLY hard, the extra weight increases the tendency to understeer.

INCREASES the understeer... doesn't bear thinking about!
