There's a lot to consider when you talk about how a car "handles". Steady state grip, as in that .97g number is only one piece of a much larger puzzle.
But if it is true then it's very promising. It seems American car manufacturers sometimes over estimate car numbers, but if it's anywhere close to that number it's a sign of good things to come.

Skidpad #'s are good for knowing how the car will cope with highspeed turns. Slalom speed is a better indicator of actual handling.
