lots of things, in no particular order, off the top of my head:
1. center of mass front/rear.
2. weight distribution front/rear (for example is there alot of weight toward the front and back of the car, or is most of the weight right around the center)
3. drivetrain (type: Front, Rear or AWD, and components: differentials, axles)
4. suspension components, setup and tuning. (this one could have sub list a mile long!)
5. tire/wheel/brake package weight.
6. overall weight.
7. tires.
8. center of gravity, low/high.
9. center of mass for engine
10. track (middle of left tire to middle of righ tire distance)
11. wheelbase (middle of front tire to middle of rear tire distance)
12. braking performance
13. chassis: flex, strenth, torsional stiffness.
14. etc zillions of things.

Deluxe about covered it.
I would only add that aerodynamics are a very minor factor untill you're over most speed limits.

Yes wheels and more over the tires make all the difference in he world. The shorter the sidewall or profile... the better it will handle but rougher it will ride. Stiffer shocks/struts help as well. Correct tire pressure is another huge factor.

ride height, springs, shocks, alignment, weight distribution, bushings, and the list goes on and on

Suspension and good quality tires play a great part in it.
Good shocks and tight suspension [not wore out] !!!!!!!!
