A lot of people have come out talking about the car, but anyone who has had any seat time in the car have praised it. Yeah, it's a little froggy, but what car isn't with that much power and such little weight?
911 Turbo cars that you are talking about are the trailing arm type that were notorious for killing Yuppies left and right. They ran into the same issues that made the Corvair of the 60's such a "dangerous" vehicle to drive. Add more power, and there were issues.
Also, the new 918 hybrid-electric supercar that Porsche is making uses the same carbon tub set up as the CGT.

To further your point about the 911/Corvair and weight distribution, the 70's turbo (930) version was/is also famous for flipping people into the woods due to the insane turbo lag and less forgiving tires. Even the 80's turbos have brutal lag. Nowhere near modern.
