...............I just paid a mil for a Ford GT Concept; oh boy you should try this for sheer awful, atrocious turd cornering thing. Normal GTs are actually fine handlers so I expected this to be the same, but gawd dang was I wrong by a country mile. I'm currently tryin' to tune it, but so far, no cake.

There`s a LOT of horrible handling cars in GT6. If I was a car manufacturer I would ask my lawyer to write a letter to mr Kaz, and order him to disable this/these car(s).. I would offer Kaz a good deal: I will send my test driver to PD and let him get the car(s) right and this service will be FREE for PD. If mr Kaz refuses, I`d tell him to erase the car(s) from the game completely and immediatly. - Because.. Those ridicoulously handling car(s) could in fact mean the loss of potential customers to the real car... There are tonnes of people who actually believes that GT6 really IS a "true driving simulator" and - after having "tested" car X in the game - he might not buy it IRL...
Oh my opinion about "worst handling car"... So far the Lamborghini Diablo GT2 `98... No way a real car handles like that...That thing is a very very baaaad advocat for Lamborghine indeed...Kaz can be happy I`m not the lawyer of Lamborghini...I`d sew him lol...

In PD's defense though, there are a lot of awful handling cars in the world, especially older models and so you'd expect to have quite a few stinkers in 1200 cars. The Diablo was quite a handful and it and many others should perhaps handle much better than they do

I agree...Also;I have nothing against beasty cars in GT6. RUF BTR and Yellowbird, the Ferrari F40 etc..I love them. They are "a mouthfull" but can be handled with joy, when getting used to them. Oh and a couple of days ago I tried to tame the Lotus Europa Special... Lots of fun...
But some, like the Diablo GT2, are simply too far out..Also those Audi R8 LM`s (Ultra and the other DTM R8 LMs) Too far out. They are very modern cars, and Audi bulld them to win races as easily as possible I assume... If they "acted" IRL as they do in GT6, I guess the poor driver would wreck both the car and himself...Without winning lol...
Some cars handles very realistic I think, but some just make me think "OMG no-one would ever bulid a car that handles like this"... Diablo GT2 is just the worst I can think of right now...
And cars like that also make me think PD never tested those. I imagine they just threw some data into a computer, and let the computer "shake the hat" for a random result... Diablo and R8 LMs belong to that category...

Probably the worst handling car for me is the chaparal 2x before the control update. that car was absolutely HORRIBLE.

That's probably because the acceleration and decceleration is brutal, and the handlung of this car is "less" than expected, which is like a normal race car.
Nonetheless, you have to get used to it, then it will handle pretty well.

I'm gonna stop you right there.
The Yellowbird is not a bad handling car. It can be tamed. Have you heard of throttle control? Use it. You won't oversteer as much. The BTR, however, is much harder to drive, in my opinion.
Also, as much as I love it, the Huayra is absolutely ridiculous. If you look at the accelerator, expect to do a 1080 spin.

I think the concept of speed deception has a lot to answer for in this thread.
Drive a car at 70mph in real life and you feel like you are going realatively fast, however in game it feels like a mere Sunday stroll.
I mean this post to be in response to those saying the handling is unrealistic.
Theres not many sharp corners I could take above 70mph in my road car on road tyres in real life, so personally I think it translates quite well in the game.

Well said. In fact I was surprized how good is the handling of Yellowbird if you compare with Big Turbo Ruf. I've started with BTR and when I drove the Yellowbird then for the first time,I was not expecting that much difference.

I agree. What I think is happening here is, a lot of people drive cars they like and believe "handle well" and let's say they approach a corner at 70-75mph usually. Well, in cars like the Huayra or Veyron they might approach that same corner at 100mph because of the ferocious acceleration of the car. When the car plows through the corner and the car flies off the track, or they hammer the brakes and then experience off brake oversteer and spin off the track, they scream "this car handles like crap!!!" It simply isn't true. You're just overdriving the heck out of the car for those particular sections of the track. I've been guilty of this many, many times.
That isn't to say that some of the suggestions here aren't valid. PD has messed up some cars and some cars are just notoriously difficult to control. I'm just saying that sometimes we need to evaluate our own driving inputs before we blame the car.

The funny thing is that a lot of peoples thoughts on what should be a good car are based on other peoples opinions. Very few of us here will have ever had the chance to drive an F40 or a Huayra so we have to base our opinions on what magazine or TV reviews say about them. Even if we do get the chance to drive one it almost certainly won't be driven in the same manor as we do in game so we might never know how the car handles when driven at maximum attack and the same situation might be true of the original review on which you'd based your opinion.

The FGT. With the default tune, it's a vicious little hellspawn of a car. No grip, no feel, ENTIRELY too much power for its own good, a complete lack of stability at high speeds, and more wheelspin than a dragster on bald tires on ice. Terrible.

Ferrari Enzo hands down........................UGH Unless it benefitted from the mid engine tweak a while back.
I haven't driven one since GT6 was a month old. Just butt ugly...for me.

That's true,but then,if GT6's F40 really closes to the real thing,I never trought that would be such a terrible car. But I don't think the game is very acurate at all,still think there's an error with it. I'm not get based with other people infos,is just my self experience with other Ferraris from the game. All older models,GTO,365,and even 512BB feels more balanced. Ferrari would really make a car that's actually worse than it's predecessors? I highly doubt it. It's my opinion trought,like you said,we will never know the true unless we drive the real car.

Actually, many people felt the F50 was a let down compared to the F40. Ferrari wouldn't let magazines time the F50 or measure any of the regular driving metrics that we usually use to compare cars. Yes, the F50 was much more refined and comfortable than the F40, but the F40 never wanted to offer creature comforts. It was meant to be a "Holy F'ing $h*t! This car is insanely fast!" race car that could be legally driven on public roads. Ferrari definitely succeeded with the creation of the F40. Unfortunately, the F50, even though it's still a very good exotic, will never be held with nearly as much esteem as the F40...and rightly so.

That's a good question. I guess we have to define "worse than" when asking this question. Is the F40 quite a bit tricky to drive compared to the older Ferrari's in GT6? Absolutely. I kind of think that would be the same answer in real life. I've seen so many videos on the F40 where they stated that when the turbos spooled up and kicked in, it was like being launched into space. Now, I'm sure that's an exaggeration, but if Chris Harris gets giddy as a schoolgirl driving the F40, I have to think there IS something insanely special about the car.Agreed. So what you think about this? Is the F40 worse than older models in real life too,or just in GT6? If we had F50 in GT6 would be even worst? Man,better to stop thinking so much about this.
To get back to your question, I do agree with you that no way should any of the older Ferrari's be able to beat the F40 around a track in GT6. If you look at SuzukaStar's incredible Time Trial Comparison List [LINK] you'll see that only one older model beats the F40 and that is it's cousin, the Ferrari 288 GTO (1984). Now, would that be true in real life? I don't know. I would think the F40 would beat it, handily, around most tracks. So, it's probably more of GT6 just not being perfect with its representations of all 1200+ cars.
I don't know how the F50 would be represented by PD in Gran Turismo 6, but I would enjoy having one in my Garage!
Please, if you haven't seen it already, check out this fantastic video of Chris Harris having fun with the F40 and F50:

Absolutelly awesome. Thanks for this nice video,I've seen him driving only the F40 before,but not with both cars.
Everything seens to makes more sense now. After all,I would never expect that the F40 would be an easy-to-drive car. But,only thing that's still strange it's the 288 GTO beating it. Is not the F40 a evolution of it? I would expect better performance at all. This may be an GT mistake,or... the way it was driven...We don't know. Anyway I'll take mine in GT6 for a ride,and try to deal with it's reactions.

I did the stratos seasonal event. I found the car didn't handle too great, but it's not terrible. It's not worth 375k, though. Probably 100k. Maximum.

I don't think so. My opinion,there's very,very few cars that actually is bad no matter what. But almost every cars in game,even the ones that feels more tricky,can be dominated if you keep praticing with each one.
This,GT6 isnt a true driving or racing simulator,It's in somewhere between casual-sim. But don't be fooled,since that's the reason for,every single car in GT6,being easier-friendly than in any true racing sims there is. If you take the Diablo GT3 or the Lotus Elise in Simbin's GTR2 for example,you will realise that cars are pretty harder than they are in GT6,so I don't think GT6 may cause any negative influences for real world cars.

I don't know why you would choose McLaren F1 as a bad handling car. My F1 is great in corners..
Still, your opinion

If you think the Stratos handles well, put some Comfort Hards on a stock one and try to keep the back end in line around even the slightest corner.
