Happily, there are those gems among the current crop of cars and trucks that make doing just that not only fun, but, in some instances, close to a religious experience.

On the way to your favorite twisty road or racetrack, the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06 pleases with an unexpectedly supple highway ride and a convenient top speed of 198 miles per hour. Once the perfect stretch of pavement lies before you, that's when the wide stance, fat tires and 3,180-pound curb weight kick in and make it hard to return home.
