A cars balanced solution can and should include braking and turning as well as acceleration and the measure of that is the road course.

But that's just my opinion.
Reminds me of an old line that I used on this site to describe the difference between a muscle car and a pony car. It was something along the lines of "A pony car is designed to handle well around a road course. A muscle car is designed to handle well enough to make another pass at the drag strip."
