Actually, the miata has an incredibly strong motor straight from the factory. It can run quite a bit of boost and still maintain a relitively long engine life if taken care of well.
And i understand what your saying. The miata isn't the end-all of good handling cars. In fact there are probably several cars i would chose before i got a miata. And i know that you can definately make a heavier car like a camaro handle well. Hell, my moms mini-van handles better than a lot of the sedans out there. It also depends what kind of cornering machine you want. If you want a high speed, track cornering car, i would want a large vette or something meant for high speeds, and huge grippy tires. If you want an autoX car or something for the very tight corners and slaloms, then even with work, the camaro (or whatever "muscle" car or sports car) will have a large inherent disadvantage over a smaller, lighter, probable lower center of gravity car with a shorter wheelbase. It totally depends on what kind of handling and corner carving you want out of your machine.
