I think GT6 has an issue with the center-of-gravity of all its cars.
There have been many threads posted here complaining about the game's new physics engine. Threads saying that X car is broken because it spins out too easily, for example. They include the Lancia Stratos, F40, Deltawing, R8 5.2, and R8 LMS... and all of them are MR cars.
Then we have complaints about cars tipping over and performing "nose-standing". Any car - even a Nissan GTR - can roll over with the slightest bump on a minor curb (such as the one in the video). Then there's also the characteristic of any car - including this Lancer Evo in the video - to have its rear tires raise several feet in the air under braking.
I make the hypothesis that the center of gravity for all of GT6's cars may have been shifted upwards. For MR cars that are braking, the rear tires are lifted up more, and the car therefore almost has no rear tire grip, causing all the spinouts. In the case of slower cars the rear tires are lifted up completely. The cars also seem to maneuver almost like double-decker buses, which makes them more prone to rolling over. In the video you'll also notice how much the cars tilt when turning in comparison to GT5.
For those of you who think that the MR cars handle normally and the drivers are not, consider this post from a user who has driven a real Audi R8 and saying it handles nothing like the one in GT6.
I think that a simple fix in the center of gravity for all cars can fix all the bugs that are allegedly plaguing GT6's physics engine.
