Riding behind a couple of RT's on the way to Bastrop last weekend I can
attest to that. I watched Gene almost miss his exit and yank it over and I
was impressed. Then comming back I saw him power through an S curve and was
again impressed with how flat it sat.
Me.... I don't even have a front sway bar so I can't turn in on my driveway
fast without overturning... ;-)
