Well, if that were true, then why did Mazda have to stop selling the RX8?
Why are those drivers not driving Miata's, instead of driving turbo engined BMW's?
Heck, if one wants a good handling NA engine powered RWD, Ford has been selling Mustangs for quite some time.
YES they DO handle well even with the archaic rear end.
There's also Nissan Z cars, normally aspirated, RWD, and they handle quite well. The Nismo 350Z was quite impressive in handling.

RX8: It has a stupid engine.
Miata: It is a convertible. Most track don't even allow them for lapping days.
Mustang: No, it doesn't handle that well. It is heavy. It is getting better though.
350Z: Heavy, engine is not smooth, brakes are way under sized. Good handling, good steering feel though.
