Straights are what american cars do!! It's the overseas cars that work on the cornering, lol.
Stang is a good example, the vette, and of course, the viper. There are some vipers out there that pull 1200HP on the dyno!!!!! Thats freaking nuts! The exception of american drag/top end speed, is the gt40, that thing can do it all. Another example, is an American car holds the world record for the fastest OEM street legal car. Beating the bughatti with a chevy V8 motor. Shelby Super cars, with the Aero Ultimate. That car can probably handle pretty well too.
