13.8@102.8 and can handle better than the new Infinity G37 and BMW 335i for $30K. 0.88g on the skidpad with a 4000lb sedan.

Lets all give GM a round of applause.

Grip Doesn't equal handling, much too soon to call it a better handling car than G or 3. It'* certainly within the class now, unlike say the ol' Comp G which Pontiac paraded as being with the 3 series when it was released, but was nowhere near it.....

Interior seems pretty good too, not sure about that wheel yet, but i'd have to sit infront of one first I guess to make final judgment. IMO, the interior is certainly better than most pontiac ones of late.

They are very balanced chassis, but somewhat tail-happy sun-of-a-bitches too.

I'm looking forward to trying one out at some point...
