Another Handling Question (Sorry)

Now I know that this topic has been beaten to death, but I have to bring it up again. The other day, a couple of my friends that I don't see to often saw my car for the first time. They hopped in and I took them for a spin. While driving, I took a 90 degree left turn back into my block going around 30 mph (maybe more, maybe less). No sweat. Felt like I could have gone 10-15 mph faster. Not even tires squealing. All of a sudden one of the guys says "Relax man, you don't know what you're doing!" I'm thinking to myself, man that was nothing. Another buddy then asks "Why, is this Front wheel drive?" I say "ya it is, and it handles pretty well for FWD." They kinda start laughing and point to a 97 V6 Mustang on the road and they say "Even that V6 Stang can handle better cause its RWD". What do you guys think. Tell me we can handle better than Mustangs and/or any other RWD cars not known for handling!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new but with the 62% front bias, we're just a tad bit nose heavy in a turn. This causes the car to push through the turn. If you happen to lift off the throttle and tap the brake you will enter spinsville at a pretty quick rate. It's not horrible but a well driven Mustang would give you fits on a road course. Don't even mess with a BMW or the dreaded IS300 in the twisties.
