think they look dumb.. but curious to see if a 6 wheeled car handles better than a 4 wheel

It seems like that wouldnt work to me. Like when you turn a car, the front of the car turns at a greater rate than the back of the car, so as you had a set of wheels in the middle that they would have to be dragged in order to turn. Unless there was some kind of pivot after the first set but before the second set. Having both of them steer would seem to require some kind of defference in steering ratio, so that the second set of steering tires wouldnt just be dragged along the road as the car turned.

This is not true. Lets say the first set of front tires turn at X amount of degrees to complete a corner. The second set of front tires don't turn the same X amount of degrees. It almost sounds like your describing 2 set of wheels that would be trailing. Like a Big Rig Truck. In this situation, both front sets would be turning to eliminate the dragging of either set.
