Explain to me why good handling makes a car more fun.

0-60 time is an indicator of performance and all successful sports cars (except maybe the miata) have a combination of good handling and good power. Even a mustang, which isn't a great handling car, still handles better than your average family sedan. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect this sports car to have better acceleration than a family sedan. I'm not saying it needs to beat a 550i or a panamera. We're talking about average cars here.
