there was an article in one of the car magazines a coupla years ago that looked at handling and braking capabilities of a number of performance cars compared to "average" cars and noted that performance cars are a lot safer. Pretty obvious if you think about it i suppose, but I can't see the cops being too impressed when you use it to argue your way out of a speeding fine... pity
