It's got an Active Handling System for traction & control loss that calculates where the driver wanted to go, where the car's actually going, and then fires the brakes individually, like Space Shuttle braking thrusters, to compensate.

                  A week or so ago I was bitching about having to drive an SUV because I needed to haul band gear to gigs. Someone (I forget who, hence my taking it out on the entire community), told me a tale of owning a Corvette and hauling a trailer to gigs. Well, that got me to thinking, and I came to the conclusion that I could just buy an old beater van to haul gear to gigs. Consequently, I just ended up with one of these last night. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/model_coupe.htm[^] You guys are a reeeeally bad influence on me... :-) Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

I have no wife or kids, so I have toys. You don't have as many toys, but you have family. I suspect you're getting the better of the bargain between the two of us.

                                          A week or so ago I was bitching about having to drive an SUV because I needed to haul band gear to gigs. Someone (I forget who, hence my taking it out on the entire community), told me a tale of owning a Corvette and hauling a trailer to gigs. Well, that got me to thinking, and I came to the conclusion that I could just buy an old beater van to haul gear to gigs. Consequently, I just ended up with one of these last night. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/model_coupe.htm[^] You guys are a reeeeally bad influence on me... :-) Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)
