Just my 2p.
2 years ago at Croft i was out-dragging Evo's down the start-finish straight in my stg 1 saff,obviously they blitzed me at the next bend and i've also been severly embaressed by a few Focus RS's round Donington etc,they do go round bends VERY well for FWD.
So to the original question,i'm not so sure.
