Default America's Benst-Handling Car

Well, I usually do not read motor trend articles but found this and I thought it was somewhat decent read.

the GT3 shouldn't be in any type of comparison with the other cars mentioned...possibly the C6 Z06 but even that imo isn't a good comparison

I have to hand it to Markus on this one. The article is one of the most technical I have ever read in a car rag, but he did good job of explaining it so even a math-challenged banker could understand it.

As an engineer, I was loving all the data and analysis.

The approach adds more dimensions that get the reader closer to understanding the cummulative differences from one car to the next, so much more so than just...

-0-60 mph
-1/4 mile
-lateral acceleration
-blah blah blah

Love those polar charts!

Good stuff.
