Yes perhaps. They would say that for the Miata, and while it may the the case, Pobst and all the other reviewers would say the RCF has body roll and that though body roll equals grip, it doesn't inspire confidence. RCF vs M4 video as evidence, in which they rave about M4 and trash the F, yet M4 barely beats it. Seems contradictory, though one has nearly 500 hp and one has much less, so maybe body roll in a 500 hp car is frigfrightening and in a 180hp car it's fun. I wouldn't know.
Doesn't Pobst say in the article that the Miata steps out oddly quick, thus you have to keep it hooked up? I'll have to read again.
I still think most normal drivers would pilot a flatter car quicker.
