Not sure what your point is. I never felt the car unstable either in a straight line or a turn. I care more about what I feel as a driver than what some gauge on a lift in a garage says. I'd say that gauge is probably even less relevant to car handling than a skidpad is.
Other people notice it. Your experience in a whopping 1 rwd car in your life means I don't put much stake in your ability to feel subtleties like that.

You don't get what makes a "sports car" the way it is?
No, I do. It is just very subjective, and largely irrelevant to the discussion.
