What's funny is some of the fastest production cars at the Nürburgring are CHEVYS AND DODGES. The Viper and Corvette ZR1 are right there with the ENZO and Pagani Zonda.

It's the ignorant general public that know NOTHING about cars that think all American cars can't handle well. The new 2011 Mustang GT beat the new V8 M3 at Willow Springs and pulled .94Gs on the skidpad. The Focus ST is right there with the STI and EVO, all 3 of which blew away the VW GTI.
The only Eurotrash that handles well AND is fast are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. You brag about 6s in Porsches that out power American V8s, yet you neglect to mention they get horrible gas mileage, cost $120,000+ and if something breaks you will need to take a 2nd mortgage out on your house.
The Challenger doesn't handle well because it's a gigantic car, it handles the same as ANY 4300lb+ car whether it's American, European or Japanese. Unless of course you're comparing cars that cost 80-90-$100,000+
