Lateral Acceleration

Ok, so I want to know what all goes into the great handling of the rx7. I mean everyone is always that their 7 has lightning fast reflexes and this seems to be one of the principle reasons this car is fun to drive ( I don't have one ... yet) . But I looked on wikipedia and it said that the fb only reached 0.779g on the skid pad. That number doesn't seem impressive at all to me and I thought that the skid pad test was the "go to" for handling prowess. What other aspects are involved in great handling?
