A stock 2.3L comes with no rear sway bar and soft shock/strut valving as well as WEAK springs....as you well know from driving one, they handle worse than a crown victoria (non handling package) or any 70's land barge.
I don't think there's much more dangerous driving that you can do other than a stock 2.3L, so heck why not

...ok being serious, i took off the front sway bar off of my GT and it would seriously understeer, throw in weak springs and drag race valving and my car will handle like crap. Just keep in mind WHAT the car's limitations are and reduce your speed driving around because it's much harder to correct if you misjudge a corner or have to do an evasive manuever. I would personally do it, but i'd also drive more carefully and closer to the speed limit than i would in a car that handles well.

It's all about what you're willing to compramise and live with.
