Here are some handling numbers on some of the most popular foreign cars.
Mazda RX-8: .88G
Lancer Evolution: .88G
WRX STI: .88G
Acura NSX: .91G
All these numbers where provided by Road and Track November 2003 Issue.
So i say, "we lack handling," HA HA HA. All of our performance cars outhandle even all-wheel drive cars.

Wow... um what are the prices on those cars? They aren't even in the same brackets. Had you read my post, you would notice I already mentioned the C6 and 2005 Mustang. So what was your point again? Beyond that, skidpad is NOT the best way to test handling. All it tells is roadholding in a circle.
*edit*
Oh and as of your original post, putting the GTO and the C6 in the same sentence is an insult to the Corvette. Not even closely the same car.
