I deliberately didn;t mention tyres because they're so easily changed, but I agree they make the biggest single difference on my car.

I understand that those things are different, but they're also fairly easy to adjust. And adjusting them alone won;t make one car handle like another.
I'm also aware that handling is very much subjective. And I'd imagine that both cars will actually have very similar grip levels. Its just that in one, you feel like your going to die at every corner, and the other feels very safe at the same speeds
