A car that responds to directional change instantly and as a whole unit. The big difference IMHO between the Boss and the GT or GT500. The wheels turn on those cars but it feels as if the body and therefore directional change lag a bit behind. I found this to be even worse on the first C5 Camaro I ever drove (sorry, don't remember which trim level), and still a wee bit present in the ZL1, although the way this Monster deals with undulations, rough pavement, and curbs more than makes up for the delay in transient response. As I said, the ZL1 is all kinds of impressive grip with the body managing to keep up with the tires rather than leading them. No criticism, just my own personal experience and perspective. Just test drove a DB9 that while a great car overall, feel even less connected to the road. My benchmark in this category is actually the current Cayman S. Leech like with an unbelievable agility.
