If you're really serious about much more than straight-line performance, I doubt whether a big full-sized Pontiac sedan is going to be your best option, even with RWD.
^ I haven't driven one, but from all reports, they liken it to the previous-generation M5, which is no slouch, in terms of big-sports-sedan handling.
I'd love some seat-time, but I'm so rusty I'd likely botch it. I embarrassingly made the tires (Hankook RS-2 Z212s, 225-width) howl a bit the other day, taking a relatively benign 90-degree corner at around 40 MPH. I'm blaming it on improper inflation.... But the truth (since the former is unlikely, as I check pressure each week) is just that I no longer can drive like I used to.

I'm going to write you a prescription for one weekend a month at Mid-Ohio for the next three months. See me when you run out and I'll refill it if necessary.
