On my way home from work, my expressway offramp is perfect to take right at 50mph. I set the cruise before I enter the turn and then ride it through. It's just fast enough where you have to enter the curve just right, the car will settle and then the downhill decreasing radius will allow it to just hold. I tried it at 52 the other day, and the tires start to complain.
Summer tires and coilovers next spring should make it even more fun

How badly does the performance chip affect fuel economy? Can I get the same mileage with/without it when driving easy, or does it take a permanent hit no matter how I drive? Also, does the car's automatic drive ("D") vs. sport drive ("S") tuning need to be adjusted to accomodate the chip? Putting it in "S" normally makes a big difference with the more aggressive rpms, so will "D" limit the chip if I don't always use "S"?

S-line with summer tires. The russo (or whatever they are called) PZEROs don't stick as a much... and they don't make a sound.
90 deg corner (2 lanes to 2 lanes deserted road) about 110~ kmh... The *** end came out a bit. 80kmh posted... but this is a yeild. No tire sequel nor warning lights (this is why I say something is up with RUSSOs) It was semi new pavement... so might of been a bit of oil.
45 deg off ramp. 100kmh posted, warning of 60. New "sticky tar\grit" pavement coat... well lets just say it was fast... no sliding, no lights, not posting what it came up to.
I DID get the warning lights to come on (ASR off ESP on) and the RUSSOs to chirp around cones in a parking lot. Strait 90 deg corner (as oposed to inside outside 2 lanes of space from my other example) at about 70kmh
All and all this car holds the road like crazy.
