What does turning circle mean? Isgreater number mean better or worse? According to Edmund.com

MY Mustang has a turning circle of 33.4 ft. but the GT has 36.5ft

Corvette: 39ft.
BMW M3: 36.1ft
Ferrari F430: 36.1ft

Thanks

Its just the turning radius of the car. How big of a circle do you need to turn the car 360 degrees.

+1

& I guess the GT's have a larger turning circle because with the wider rims/tires you can't turn the wheel as much
