Ouch! What a crappy thing to have happen, and expensive to boot
But yeah, the cars do handle very very well.
I had a different route to work last week due to road closure, partly through forrest and partly a sweeping bendy section downhill of dual carriageway, the sort that has emergency runoffs for lorries. Honestly, despite me keeping the car to around 70mph on the dual carriageway (lots of cameras) it could have easily scythed through those bends at well over 100 and still felt completely planted. I can remember those bends from before the cameras went in and know what a difference a chassis makes there.
