Wow!

Porsche 911s and Lotus Elises's notwithstanding? What cars would you benchmark the Solstice's handling against? Inquiring minds want to know!

I have never driven either. I can't speak for exotics but it would be an interesting magazine test to campare the Sol to say a Boxter, S2000 and Z4. Thus far I havn't found any negative areas in the Sols handling charateristics, but can't wait to take it for a spin at Road America!
