hopefully some day the american auto manufacturers will pull their heads out of their respective asses and build proper drivers cars..

It is not that flimsy of a chassis. Here's a quote from the CNN Money article that is linked on the first page:
"The car's new aluminum structure is 99 pounds lighter than the steel frame underlying today's Corvette while it's also 57% stiffer. The body is made from composite materials, including carbon fiber in the hood and roof panels."
While most American cars do not fit into the "driver's car" category, I would have to say the C6 Corvette Z06 and Mustang Boss 302 are pretty damn close considering their performance.
