In GT4, obviously.

I reckon either the Mk5 Golf GTI, HPA Motorsports Golf R32, or M3 CSL. All three of those handle really nicely and are very chuckable.

Worst car I have is probably my Esprit V8 GT, it just understeers into every bend. Mind you, that could just be because im braking too late as i'm always barrelling up to corners far too fast with it!

Im surprised you say that, I thought the Esprit V8 handling was pretty good compared to the very twitchy R33 Skyline GTR.

Best handling so far for me is the RUF Porsche's, they are sublime.

Worst > R32 with 700bhp.... will not turn in no matter what I do to it setup wise

Best > Amuse S2000 GT1.... Ahead of everything else, but closely followed by my BTR on Race tyres

I've not driven the R33 Skyline GTR yet. My Esprit has 830bhp so I think it may just be me driving too fast! I'll have to do the Capri Rally races a few more times and get myself a RUF Porsche I think.

Get a BTR (much nicer than any crummy scooby for 100k or so and then win the Boxer challenge in the Pro hall to get the CTR
You can win that series in a Stock BTR, I just turned off the driving aids.

I bought cars that I've always wanted...and out of those, my best handling is the Lancia Stratos (322bhp) with the driver aids off - it's great fun through the twisties..

The worst or most challenging is easily the Speed 12 - with no TC it's still spinning it's wheels at 180mph....although I did turn the boost on the NoS up, and lengthen the gearing, got it up to just over 270 on the test course

Fantastic car isn't it? Couldn't really afford it but so glad I splashed out. JGTC 350Z handles brilliantly, but it's got silly downforce and slicks. I've just bought a Callaway C12 to do the US races, handles very well, and sounds lovely.

Worst-NISMO 400R, chronic understeer. The Caterham is also appalling on a bumpy track, but I think thats because the physics can't cope with such a light car

You can get over 300 with the speed 12.

Incorrect.

Porsche make them then RUF tune the tits off them


no shit sherlock.
But since were talking GT4 here, make = which name are they sold under, so thus its Ruf.

My Alfa 147 GTA is one of the best handling cars in my garage, I'll post up the set up when I've finished racing.

BMW M3 GTR Race Car pips it to the top though, standard car handles phenominally well
