That's cool. They are neat cars but I love my F-body and my "other car" by Lotus than can do both.

Part of the blame for that is that this site is soooo blatantly 1/4 mile/straight line speed/race oriented. Go over to www.FRRAX.com if you want to see enthusiasts put f bodies through their paces in the "twisties". You'll be amazed at what they can do while dispelling the myth that these cars "cannot be made to handle well"!!
