no matter how well a car handles, it can't make up for poor judgement. If you are speeding down a school zone in a lotus or an escalade, its stupid. In the lotus you can stop more quickly and change direction more easily, but its still stupid

really? i didn't realize cars delivered power to the wheels when the car is in neutral.
