My SAAB 9000 93 2.0 turbo vs. my Mazada Miata 1.9L

Both car have new tires (Michellin 205/60/R15 and Pirelli P6000 195/50/R15); the Miata has lowered springs and Koni shocks. The Saab is '93 with 60k and the Miata is 95 with 35k; The 9kt is all stock. Both are very well maintained.
My point is this: Driving through curvy roads, the SAAB gives me so much more confidence than the Miata; I had a few occasions of making the tail of the Miata slip. I can go through a curve much faster with the SAAB than the Miata (judging by the speedometer). With wet road, the contrast is even bigger.
Question: Do I miss any tricks of driving a RWD car?
Or, perhaps, the 9kt is a much better driving machine than the Miata?
