Yeah but Dave...

She can be made to handle herself fairly well when properly configured. You 
were in attendance, I do believe, on a beautiful spring day at PPIR in Fountain 
CO when the GM was out embarassing a lot of well heeled track types to 
include Vettes, Vipers, Porsches(one in the form of a GT3), and Ferraris(to include 
a very yellow F360 Stradale). Most of these cars were trailered or enclosed 
rig hauled to the track. I drove there and got many a smirking look as I jacked 
the car up to mount the track wheels/tires. After a couple of runs, guys 
started coming by to ask what that large green sedan was running out there. This 
was all before I went stroker and installed the Dave Stone coil-over suspension. 
More fun to follow.
