So there's no trade off here. You can have a better handling car with substantially MORE power all around which will greatly benefit the "fun" of the car off and especially ON the track.
But some people bought the "light as possible > anything else" hook, line, and sinker. 3,000-4,000lb cars can, and will, out perform this car on closed tracks as long as their suspension has equal effort put into them. Power isn't a "fun killer", it can in fact, and I know it's hard for some to understand this, make the car MORE fun.

I'm enrolling you in a physics 101 course at your local community college.
