Since I also drive my own daily, I get to experience what everybody has posted, except Jake's because his is lowered. Nonetheless, these are great replies!
Let's keep them coming if anybody wants to add more.
Personally I love the way the car turns when cornering, I've never felt such confidence in any car I've owned or driven. When I turn that big steering wheel, the car rolls a bit, but you'll feel the balance and there's no sign of front end weight, even if my car is the 300D turbo with an all-iron engine and at 1600kg curb weight!
My dad's Honda Civic, which is heavily set-up, has so much understeer because of the heavy nose of FWD cars. Our current '92 Corolla is very twitchy when turning, the steering response is too quick. My old '89 Lancer had no powersteering, but it felt really light at only 980 kg curb weight, and with less than 70hp, I could zip about the streets of Manila.
I've searched for stuff regarding the W123's front weight distribution. Does anybody know any source to link me to? My car has a fully-laden weight distribution of 52/48 as the weights are stated on the B pillar plate, where the VIN is located. But I'm also looking for the curb weight distribution.
As a last question, does anybody know what the effect of steering camber our car has on its handling? When you turn the wheels fully left, the right wheel itself "leans" inwards slightly. The same goes vice versa. I'm thinking this might contribute to its good turning angle? Or cornering prowess?
Sometimes I surprise myself too for going 50 in a 40 zone, only to feel that it's going 30. And going 60 feels like you're going 45. Maybe the car's weight and its good torque curve makes it so smooth?
I read somewhere that the rear semi-trailing arms have a knack for giving some oversteer once their toe angles have changed since the rear trailing arms are hinged diagonally on the car, am I right? That might also account for the accidental oversteer effect?
