The Yanks' idea of a handling test is to drive round and round in ever faster circles until the car fcuks off sideways.
That explains Indycar racing then

1.07 for the Porsche 911 GT1, 1.01 for the Enzo and 0.99 for the Carrera GT. The humble Elise manages 0.98. Figures are from Road & Track Magazine.

While everybody is talking about the engine tweaks, it's really the chassis that has been changed the most. Honda has dramatically changed the handling balance of the S2000 to give it a more fail-safe personality on the street. We circled the skidpad with the '04 S2000 and registered 0.89 g, down from the 0.92 g the previous car achieved. The car also understeered every yard of the way, no matter what we did to get the rear end to step out. You might be tempted to look for an explanation in the '04 car's new 17-inch Bridgestone RE 050 tires, but there's far more to it than that
This is not said by me...this is from a car test magazine...
i dont have any opinion about this subject...
