These roads have super tight hairpins with much variation vertically. I was completely impressed with the way my car handled. With my mods (nothing too drastic), I couldn't detect any obvious differences in handling ability between my car and the vette. The 5.0 left me with a grin for the rest of the day. We even got a drag race in at a country stoplight. Dead even up to 80 before we cut it out. With a CAI and tune these cars are every bit as fast as a 2005 vette, at least up to 80.
Awesome. I LOVE taking my Stang out into the countryside for the backroads. It's so much fun.
