[QUOTE="Nuke61, post: 2584238, member: 19827"] Lot's more to handling than a static skidpad. When you actually have to turn left and right, the 600' slalom speed is more representative of real world performance. The following 600' slalom numbers are from MotorTrend: Mustang SVT Cobra -- 65.4 mph Honda S2000 -------- 68.6 mph Viper SRT-10 -------- 70.4 mph Corvette Z06 -------- 70.4 mph Lancer Evo ---------- 71.4 mph Mosler MT900 ------- 74.7 mph On the 600' slalom, 2 mph is a big difference, and 4 mph is huge. The difference between the Cobra and S2000 is 3 seconds. I'm not saying you can't *make* the Cobra into a wonderful corner turner, but to say that it's arguably as good a handler as an S2000 in stock trim is silly.
