They handled well for the time they were manufactured. Comparing old cars to new ones like that isn’t really fair. Even a modern Honda Accord could outperform a C3 or older Corvette in every category. The difference in aerodynamics, suspension, and materials technologies, plus computer control, makes that big of a difference.
Matter of fact, if I remember correctly, a modern Honda Accord Sport has a faster Nurburgring lap time than an R34 Skyline, which was one of the fastest production cars of the 90s. That’s how quickly car technology advances.

Also tires, whatever came on a c3 is way worse than modern tires are. Its a huge difference.
