Here we go again...FWD has better initial traction in snow because of the weight on the front wheels. Apart from that, I've never made any claims about FWD superiority in regular driving conditions.
How does a FWD car with 1963lbs over the drive wheels somehow magically have better initial traction over a RWD car with 2009lbs over the drive axle?
The larger swaybars make the car handle corners more flat and gives more feeling as to what is happening. Sure, it can potentially oversteer, but it does it in a way that let's you feel it better and correct it if you don't want it to oversteer. With the stock suspension and stock swaybars it feels like a boat - it has what's called a tall tire feel, with the whole car wallowing in the corner and the rear doing whatever it wants to do.
Ummm... no, antirollbars don't give you more feeling. Also, tall tire feel aka tire squirm doesn't feel like the rear end is doing whatever it wants.
Spectre, god-forbid that it does happen to you, but if you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you should definitely hire this guy.

Amusingly, my criminal defense lawyer does look like that. Totally different personality, though.
