When it comes to rigidity, the SZ is not up to today's standard but it's at least better than that of the 75/Milano (I know this because my mother owns an SZ and a Milano Verde with SZ conponents (engine, gearbox, suspension etc...) transplanted.
What's wrong with the rigidity of the 75? Mine feels perfectly rigid enough. I'm certain it can out handle most of the cars I see on the road, especially all the dudes with their Silvias etc. It goes where it's pointed instantly. When you say "not up to today's standards", what sort of cars are you talking about?
