Default Cornering speeds....

I don't know about you guys but I go nuts with cornering now that I have all wheel drive. So anyways, what speeds do you guys generaly scoot around corners? I go anywhere form 25-40. Used to only be able do 20 at the VERY fastest in my 94 Ranger. (without sqeakn em). Gotta love that Quattro

Default About as fast as it takes to get the tires to squeal a little...

...on tight turns. I like to fly in deep on the brakes, then give the wheel a little yank to turn the car in, which unloads the rear and I get a bit of oversteer. Nice. On-off ramps are really fun. I guess I like to go fast enough to get the back to come around a bit. Of course I go a little slower when the wife is in the car .

What I'd really like to see is me in the Audi against me on my sportbike. It would be interesting. Usually I'm concentrating on the corner and not on the speedo - which is really the best thing to do IMHO. Judging entry speed by looking at the upcoming corner radius instead of the yellow sign is better - gets you less dependent on those signs (in case they forget to put one up!).

Default I drove Loveland pass a few weeks ago and...

found that I could EASILY do 20 over the recommended speed limit with ABSOLUTE confidence. I don't think I even got a little squeal. It was great, I was the only car in my lane all the way over.

Default sumtimes, the corner sign will br a 20mph one while the turn looks like its 40+...better be careful.
