performance vs handling

[ffcohpin]

I know that it is a too vague question.

If I have to choose the performance or the handling, what do I have to

go with? I mean, what do I have to choose if I am thinking of a car with

the brilliant handling and a car with the outstanding engine performance.

For example, rx-8 has the wonderful handling, and 350z has the awsome

accelaration but rx-8 handles better than 350z. Of course, 350z is

faster than rx-8. Without any modification, if they race in street, which

car would win after all? what if they are modded? I am not an expert

about cars and street racing stuffs so I need experts' advices. Of

course, everyone wants both. But if I have to pick one of them, what

do I have to pick?

p.s. how about rx-8 and wrx and 350z?

Thank you.

wrx is fastest over all of those, and would handle the best (awd) so if thats part of it, go for it, but a lot of it will be the driver too.

the 350Z is faster than a regular WRX, only the WRX STi is faster. 350Z's handle pretty well, they just take a lighter touch to drive well.
