FWIW, once in Dallas, I was in the second from the leftmost lane on a tollway at 80-85 mph. Crested and a curve, there was a stopped car in left lane. The mercedes just about 100-200 ft in front of me in the left lane missed it barely, but the other car tailgating them didn't, and smashed the stopped car and veered hard right. I had tons of traffic behind me, I dropped 3rd gear to as fast as I could in my Z06, steered right and just barely squeezed between the sliding crashed car and the retaining wall on the shoulder. Bunch of cars behind me wrecked into the mess. I doubt any pos car at the time could have performed as well. It was a game of inches.

I'm pretty sure he'd just think that 'edit' is just 'tide' spelled backwards....

I think handling on the street might be as important as handling elsewhere since more people drive there...
