I haven't driven the 5 in an auto-x or track (yet!), but in my 308 (which has a quick ratio rack) and my CRX it's quite possible and advantageous IMO to not shuffle the hands around the wheel, grasping it in various locations.

Love GTV6s BTW, my dad had an Alfetta and it was much fun to throw around the back roads.
