Not to offend anyone (too late), but arn't Honda Del Sols considered... like, global gay persons car? I have nothing agaisn't gays, but aren't those cars kinda gay? I guess its mostly styling, and i seen no masculine-ness about a Del Sol, or its bed buddy Miata (Corky Ramono car). There is no doubt in my mind that they arn't fast or will handle well, but the same thing goes for a Ford Pinto.

As for the front/rear wheel drive thing, heres something that i've read... Front wheel drive cars are safer, due to the fact that during braking, you have more weight over the front wheels. Same is true for when someone tries to swerve to miss an object in the rain, under steer keeps those who only practice going fast in a strait line...in a straight line. Also, keep in mind the general public considers themselves "Good drivers" because they have no tickets on their insurance records, not because they go to autocrosses, short track, or time trial events.
