There is no way you can say the car is a shitty handling car! I had a CRX that I would auto-X regularly and I can honestly say the Z is way more confident around a high speed corner. I like being able to use the gas peddle to rotate the back end and the inherent stickyness that comes with weight. It won't be tossed around a corner and then set up immediatiley for the next turn as easily as a lighter car but (IMAO) I wouldn't be afraid of a 911 down a canyon road, it's all in the driver at that point.
