I had two other people (driving instructors) drive my car on track (two different tracks) to get feedback on how the car handled. Both times I was told it was very close to perfect for the equipment I had (both times I was told that race tires would push it over the "balanced" line, understandably). The only complaint was front/rear brake bias...both times. The one guy said it was "the most fun he's ever had in a FWD". He typically drove a Spec E30.
I will concede that the car did not do as well in auto-x as it could have. Again, part of this is driver.
