Yeah, handling does matter sometimes, but I see handling as a secondary upgrade for an MP car for a specific reason. Although most top MP cars (Cobra, Sagaris, Estoque, etc.) have rather poor handling as compensation for top speed, there are still ways to counter such drawback. For instance, with some practice, players can use tap-drift for 90 degree corners and double-drift for big turns like the helix in Sector 8. Although it's great to have a car with lower speed but better handling, it also means that the player have to make near-perfect run to fend off other faster cars, given that it's on a short track.

Anyway, congrats on winning that race!
