Absolutley tons of their cars handle with a few mods, its just the usual bullshit myth that they dont.
Just as they dont have the same driving culture and roads as we have in general their cars are made for comfort.
Im sure they take the piss out of our piss slow cars. When they were churning out 400bhp V8 cars as stanard, out sports cars were homo MGBs

ERM, look who has input into the handling of all corvettes, but done on the QT so as not to upset the yanks, one reason 6 development mules were bodied as other cars but were vette underneath.
Yank technology is crap period, turbocharged 6 litre plus, if for outright power is a joke.
Even the yank apache chopper is slower than our versions with our engines, the mustang(aircraft) was the same story better when using a brit engine.
The zo6 does indeed handle well, and is a very good price, but does not outhandle europe, as it is not built to do so being primarily aimed at us market.
