Give us a twisty road and you will be in the weeds. Not even competition drivers can press a front wheel drive car hard without losing it in some of the corners.

Historically, you are right. Have you had any recent experience driving late model, high performance front wheel drive cars though? I had my Neon R/T in Europe, and with some big, fat, low profile Z rated tires, it handled curves with aplomb. Just ask the owners of the BMWs and Audis that couldn't keep pace. Weeds? Passed right by'em.

Yep, you just weren't driving it hard enough. If you drive a rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, front or mid engine car at 10/10ths you can control your turn radius with steering wheel or throttle.
If you drive a front wheel drive car 10/10ths you must set up your turns absolutely perfectly, because neither steering nor throtle will let you tighten the radius of your turns.
No one can set up their turns pefectly every time.
Drive faster and you will find out.
