Pretty much you can make anything handle great with lots of $$$$.

Word. I saw an ad for one recently, a GT500 coupe for $39,999. Good deal.

But yes, they are pigs. Near 4000 lbs with driver. Too much dead weight. There's a video on youtube, I think I captured it, of a 460whp SVT Cobra doing a highway pull against a 500whp GT500 and pulling a car or two on him. All that weight really hurts all aspects of performance.
