if your talking about a neglected muscle car from the 60's sure you'll beat them in corners (depending on how good a driver you are) but with even a little maintanance on a muscle car and I will ROAST your honda in the corners....

Sure honda's are more fun to drive in the twisties instead of in a straight line... because HONDA'S ARE SLOW.... and sure the take corners OK but that's all.... I have an ex and it has a GREAT stock suspension but I could roast that thing day in and day out in ANY late 80's mustang and probobly with a muscle car as long as the susp. is in decent shape or rebuilt.

It's all driving technique... sure susp. and center of gravity help... but saying that you could beat a mustang around corners is just dumb... maybe the one's you've seen or been in but round here... a mustang will take you in the corners if it feels like it and the driver is competant.

Honda's are just easier to drive around corners.... not neccisarily better and DEFINATLELY NOT the best....

they have well designed suspensions but they're no handling machine by any stretch..

and what Chris is saying is SO true.... honda cars aren't even that special... none of them truely out-classed the competition.

And as far as d/b series torque steer.... uh no... they notorius for rough running and they do have SOME torque steer but for real torque steer try any 2.0 or higher that's front drive w/o lsd...
