    Handling difference will be night and day also.

    78 z will turn like a land yacht.

    94 v6 will turn almost on a dime and leave .03 in change.

    Suggestion: If you are particularly irritated by another member's posting habits and are constantly fighting the urge to flame them, you can click on that person's profile, and select "Add to ignore list." This will make that person's posts invisible to you.
