The entire HSV tuning arm is basically dedicated to doing that.
The consequence is that the cars aren't nearly as aggressively designed as say, a Dodge Charger, which was conceived from the get-go as a performance-oriented car.

That's why I love Australia! If I am not far off the mark, the Holden HSV side is pretty much responsible for all of muscle that was introduced in the USA from the 2000s up to present? I've been there quite a few times over the years, and they do love their RWDs. Too bad the USA is too fickle. Anyway, it's all good. It's just great to drive a modern Camaro.
