Well, you are defining vehicle handling. The thread is about "sports cars". I bet just about any car you consider a sports car would be innately more able if only something were different about it.
If your definition of sports car precludes FWD cars, hey it's your definition. Is there anything in your definition about being able to perform at a certain level? I mean, does actual performance matter, or just the notion or possibility of performance?
