Default Best Handling Car in America (Poll)

...within the $100,000 price range. A couple of friends and I were talking about which is the best handling car without the supercar price tag. This is the list that I came up with..


REMEMBER, they have to be production cars, thus they have to be STOCK!

C6 Corvette Z06 (not sure why it isn't in your poll, it pulls like 1.05g on the skidpad)/Lotus Elise (not sure why this isn't in your poll either)

I'm getting a ride in a Ferrari 360 next Monday and I've ridden in an Elise so I'll tell you how they stack up h:

Edit: Having an ITR, Supra and RX-7 in there is offensive to the rest of the cars.

that is really a tough question! best handeling in what situation? stock? At high speeds cornering, I'd throw $ down on a 911. On a cone course, probably a lotus. In the snow, maybe subies?
