I'm close to pulling the trigger on a 1999 CC Allure. Can any other CC owners give me your options on the solid front axel. I'm a little nervous about the handling. After owning this wandering P30 the ride/handling is the first thing on my list. I haven't been able to drive it yet but we will the first week of April.
Not sure which chassis you're talking about here with the solid axle and never could figure what the problem was with a P30. Now it doesn't say Chevy on the steering wheels, does it and if so, we're looking at a rare P12 With our 30, all you need is one of your little fingers for driving it with ease. Had an older one also and even though, not as good as our present on, it did OK. I mean I just don't get and would love to look down under and drive one of these impossible beasts, I keep reading about.
Having said all of this, I would dare compare it to DP chassis, but will take on a F53 Ford or WH W chassis for handling and comfort. In fact there's a W near by, that I've ridden in and talked with the owner as well.
Mine is a chevy P30. I think half the problem with the P chassis is the front wheels being about 4ft apart on center. I can drive mine with one finger also but sometimes it just has a mind of its own.
