Z06 handles like a wet paper bag
From the z06 forums
When discussing each car's respective behavior in the slalom, the following is said:
"Hammering (the Viper) around the cones of our slalom, we found remarkably quick, precise turn-in and tremendous grip. The holding power of the Viper far exceeds our abilities to squeeze the most out of it. We recorded 46.8 mph, but think there might have been even more left on the asphalt.
"Jumping immediately into the Corvette, the difference is huge. Turn the wheels and it sort of mushes over in the direction you want it to. This is by no means SUV/minivan mushy, but compared to the Viper it feels like a wet paper bag. Then at the very limit, when oversteer is getting too much, the stability control kicks in. One tester didn't find it intrusive, but the other driver did. The Vette's speed of 45.6 mph is still, as it always has been, below the mighty Viper.
"On the skidpad the Viper rules again, scoring the first 1.00-g laps we've recorded. The Corvette's 0.97 g isn't bad."
