I was at a recent Tysons Corner Prelude meet, small world.

The deck has whats called "Acoustic Feedback System" which corrects for distortion. It reads the distortion through microphones above the rear speakers, when distortion is detected, it is sent through the system and sent back clean. All instantaneous.

As for handling, search for the article "Coupes de Grace" in Road & Track. It was voted best handling car under $30K (by far, apparently it wasn't even close) and came in middle of the pack when compared the best handling cars at any price (include 911, viper, ferrari etc.).
