Car like that would be a blast to drive. I mean, really. Imagine a 911, except ... not. The steering will be sloppier (unless they've replaced the OEM design steering rack with a proper rack-and-pinion setup), the front suspension will always be wrong, and the alignment will never do what you want. Parts will be impossible to find, and you'll never be able to get a mechanic to work on it.
But aside from that, it'd be a blast. I mean, it'd be light, and powerful, and rear-engine. I built a car like that, except not quite so much so. The handling dynamic was very similar to a 911, with the major exception of the steering rack being sloppy.
