I haven't had a chance to drive one myself yet, but it does handle pretty well. Also taking into account that it has been able to keep up with the E92 M3 on a track in various magazine tests, I don't think there's any reason to doubt its capabilities.

Reason 1: Ford (I've had plenty of issues with them in the past, Ford Exploder anyone?)
Reason 2: SRA (get with the times!)
Reason 3: power compensation for what it lacks in handling, i.e. it's not a balanced car.

Biased, yes. But I don't care.
