More forgiving, sure, but also slower to change direction, and, ultimately, worse at cornering (for grip-racing purposes, not drifting).
A lot of it has to do with wheelbase and suspension too though. Part of the twitchyness of cars like the s2000 and rx7 is the short wheelbase in tandem with the more rearward weight.
