Who said 911's "don't handle"?

i love that style with older cars, from old footage. just get the nose in the genral direction of the exit, and hold on :)

Are the peddles really oddly placed? Looks like his right leg is right over.. Are surely he's pushing it to push the back out on the corner but holding it so it still powers thru..?

With all due respect Stevie "handling" isn't about "going round quicker." In this instance he IS going round quicker than anyone else and doing it with a zero counter drift, showing what a monster it is. It absolutely proves the car "handles" imo because it's been built & set exactly right for the driver to have that degree of freedom driving it at and just over the limit.

Any car that can corner like that, out of shape AND hit every apex is nothing sort of epic.

The driver can handle that car very well but the thing handles like a pig. Please remember that oversteer doesn't equal great handling. Drifting is a SLOW way to get around a bend. A better handling car WILL get you around a track quicker. This is because and not limited to the driver being able to enter the corner with more confidence AND get the power down earlier, giving them a greater exit speed etc etc etc.

If you think this is a good handling car, I'm worried about your Nova.

But from my, admittedly limited, understanding of the laws of physics, if the car wasn't sliding like a bsatard, and was able to maintain traction at those entry speeds it would go round quicker. But I understand where your coming from about it being controllable beyond the limits of grip, my point is if it handled better it wouldnt get out of shape to begin with. So I suppose we're both right to an extent.

id say the car handles like piece of ****, but the driver has talent lol

Again if he went slower in and was more gentle with the throttle he'd be even quicker

^What he said^

**** end constantly hanging out = lack of grip.

Lack of grip = Not handling!
