[The Tony Show]

I think it's already been agreed upon that the gen 2 V is not going to be an autocross machine. Besides, who the hell cares about a slalom test? I don't plan on driving serpentine between the stripes in the road on my way home- I'm interested in the steady state cornering, initial turn in response and how much speed I can carry through a corner (aka lateral grip). Unless your daily commute involves a windy road with each corner spaced 10 feet apart, a slalom test doesn't mean squat.

A multi cone slalom is yet another example of a driving situation that will NEVER occur in the real world, and is a useless magazine number used by Internet racers. BigJim has passed a ton of cars at Gingerman and VIR that are "supposedly" better handlers than the Gen 1 V- I've seen the pictures and heard the tales.

Good handling is a lot more than doing well in some contrived tests in a magazine that have very little reflection on how a car performs in the real world.
