Whether it's actually "holding" corners better or not, the weight differential could translate into such a perception to the driver. Just sayin'.

Is there some discussion whether a second gen TL could take a new Corolla at the track that I'm missing?

You guys need to understand that more goes into cornering, the little beater corolla won't enter, hold or exit the corner better than a better balanced more powerful TL.

Because racecar.

Technicalities. And besides, I'm sure I'll DIAF () after I plunge off a cliff for driving like I'm playing GT5 too fast up a mountain in Bamph.

Indeed. I found my brain playing tricks on me on the freeway one day when I'd been playing a bunch of GT5 before I got in the car. I started thinking I could really just bump those other cars out of my way...glad I didn't follow through on that thought.
