Some years ago, at a track day, we were doing 'anchor out' type stops (straight and curves) on a watered down bit of bitumen, the worst performer was a lotus Elise, an e-class benz looked like it was glued to the road stopping in around 7m (IIRC) from 60km/hr, my volvo v70 20v came second.
I have had a great experience of being a 'navigator' in a Targa, in my mate's Porsche GT3 RS4, until he rolled it, (I was inside) - I have a lot more respect for a roll cage and 6 point belts that we did up properly. That car could straighten out corners at 100-200km/hr like nothing - lovely flat torque curve.
For a laugh - at the other end of the spectrum - my daily drive is a Golf Mk 7.5 turbo diesel, I drive it like I want to, and still get 5 l/100km, (47 us mpg, 56 imperial mpg) no real power though - saves on speeding fines! Don't ask!
