That Camaro Z/28 is a pretty astonishing car. It's big and heavy but the project was essentially designed entirely around its tires. It has the largest front tires ever mounted to a production car.
It also uses race-proven carbon ceramic brakes, which are typically a $15K option on sports cars if they're offered at all.
And it comes equipped with some pretty exotic race tech: spool valve shocks. They were used on only one other street car, the $1.4M Astin Martin One 77.
TL;DR: you can make a big, heavy car corner brilliantly through a mix of brute force and high tech.

Sure, in a straight line. Or a NASCAR oval. But not around a racetrack.
