Whats your best handling road car? for sports tires....

mine is Lotus Elise, tuned to specs of a Exige..
Nissan R390 Road Car also creates incredible amounts of downforce aswell...

Oh tuned? Then anything really.

Stock has to be F430, M3 or possibly the Jaguar XKR R Performance, I love that car.

Oh oh! RUF RGT as well. UGH, sweet.

Its a road car in name only.

35/80 downforce....

Lol yeah I know, it is still a road car though, and it is 35/60 Im pretty sure.

TVR Speed 12 has 35/60 too :P


Ummm the S2K GT1 Turbo is insanely good handling.
 
It becomes hard to really tell once you put racing tyres on. Racing softs will mask a variety of handling woes.
 
The Mitsubishi HSR-II Concept.
Had no experiences of understeer or oversteer at all. The handling is so neutral, it sort of ruins the fun. Though it does look so cool every time you turn and the spoilers pop up.

Its 35/60 without a wing, you can slap one on to make it 35/80 though.
 
Tommy kaira ZZ-II completely stock or Mine's skyline.. And personally i love the handling of the murci lp-670 stock no tcs on tight tracks like autumn ring.. just powerslide and scream Powaaaah!!!
 
The Ferrari F430 Scuderia and the McLaren MP4-12c are fantastic, but my favorite road car is the Saleen S7.

IMO any car with front downforce (including the ZZII) is not a road car for the purpose of comparison with race cars.
 
The Saleen S7 handles poorly though and needs a lot of work. The Scuderia handles the best out of all Ferraris though (or maybe the 458 Italia). With the Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car I did 1:46 on my first run on Grand Valley Speedway. Great car. I need to give it a go on Nurburgring Nordschleife.
 
Can't beat a moderately powered, lightweight FR imo. Something like a lightly tuned FD RX7, Miata, S2000, etc with around 300-350 hp. Having too much power is a good way to turn a great handling car into a basket case.
 
The NSX LM concept road car is pretty good, but its hard to consider it a pure road car. The NSX-R I think is one of the best handling cars in the game.

Ya the Scuderia really rips, and love that sound! But my S7 only started handling poorly above 700hp, that's when I realized more power is not always a good thing. In the 600-650hp range on racing tires it's a blast... drifting on corner exit is really fun. :)

It's a shame it was never put into production. I actually do slightly better on most courses with that one compared to the NSX-R Prototype LM Race Car (only exception are the tight courses like cities and Deep Forest Raceway). The R390 GT1 beats both though. :D

What are you talking about?
As much as I love that car, I can't say it has good handling. Even on Racing slicks it loves oversteer like no other. IF you can manage to control this beast of a car, you'll be able to get some impressive moves out of it.

Best handling I think would be the Honda NSX. Seriously, not a lot of cars can be so easy to drive while at the same time but down impressive times.
