How many of todays "stock" cars can corner over 1 G from the factory? You will only need ONE hand to count them!

In my first hand experience, the '93 RX-7 was totally superior in handling compared to my FFR. It handled better than my BDR does, but the BDR is much closer in comparison. And the TT '93 RX-7 did have a 1g skid pad rating. Then, I had Eibach springs installed and wider wheels/tires. I have yet to drive a car that was as tossible as it was, and I probably didn't take it to it's limits. I know you can setup a Cobra of any make and make it handle and I agree the FFR at a mere 2100-2200 lbs would be an obvious choice. But my BDR with another 300 lbs over the FFR handles much better than the FFR without any modifications. No one mentioned equally prepped. That's a no brainer.
