Funny that two top contenders in this little handeling debate are the s2000 and the evo. I think this shows that both are top in their class. I think it shows that while coming from different angles of attack, both of these cars are serious contenders in stock or near-stock form, and even give cars 4x their value a run for their money.
I've got two great examples, both form

Doug Hayashi (owner of nsxfiles) owns a an all-out race-only supercharged NSX. He has two DD's, and one backup DD: A F355, an S2000, and an MR2. This guy obviously has it bad for mid-engined rwd cars (and, he lives in Huntington Beach, CA, go figure!), and he will tell you countless stories about the swarms of S2000 he races with that take top numbers on track days. See
www.nsxfiles.com Chapter 93 for more specific examples.
Another example, his buddy Wayne owns a F360. He loves this car, and uses a Porsche 944 turbo for his track car....or used to. He bought an evo not long ago, and actually is quoted as saying MULTIPLE times that it outhandles his Modded F360. Seriously, a $30k evo outhandling a $160k+ Ferrari.
