[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5970447, member: 549629"] Who says there aren't or wont be suspension upgrades. You can make a mid 60's impala handle like a decent street racer if you want to put the mods into it. European and Japanese cars have traditionally cornered better while American cars tend to be more designed around straight line performance and light cornering. Wonder why? Go drive some uropean streets, as compared to our laviously wide and long interstates and highways, and you'll better understand. I can respect the cornering performance of the smaller cars, why is it so hard to respect the performance of cars designed for a different intended environment and use? The Z06 has been setting the supercar world on its ear the past few years because its been so successful at competing, performance wise, with many Exotics that cost much much more. For the price, its been one hell of a performer. That's simply not true. The Viper has been a dominate force in road racing, but its weak point has been cornering. Smaller cars like the Corvette, BMW's and Porches corner better, but the brute strength of the vipers in the straight-aways was what won them all those races. [/QUOTE]
