| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison Astounded by just how bad the Caterham rated in the 'wet handling course'. Worse than a Copen! Shameful. BTW, did the Cayman S have PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes)? If it did, that might explain it's domination in the braking test. Which is testament to just how good they actually are. If only it was a cheaper option... |

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison Does weight have a positive effect on handling? It might sound a little counter-intuitive, but weight=friction=traction, sort of. So when the surface gets slippery, a heavier car might grip better. |

| Re: Autobild: Ten cars in the handling comparison Yeah, I know - but I was thinking to when you're on icy or snowy ground, and you have no weight over a wheel - then it gets slippery. Would that idea transfer to wet ground? |
