Hey fellows. What's the fastest you've taken a let's say 25MPH exit ramp? I've only gotten up to 50

on one that I know quite well with a decreasing radius. It's pretty cool. State your suspension setup too so we can make comparisons.

Default Hard to say what that means.

.. considering the "MPH" signage in the US is basically content free. 25MPH to me means I can take the turn anywhere from 35 to 60 MPH. Fat lot of good that sign does ;P

Not to mention the fact that your "top speed" through a turn doesn't mean anything. Did you set up your turn entry properly? Did you keep a good line? Did you have a good exit speed?

If the exit is a nice circle, then your maximum speed through it show how capable the suspension is.

That's mighty fast. Did you feel like you had more room to ACCELERATE?

Default I have a 2000, no ESP. I guess I wasn't really paying attention untill I was at the apex.

Then it was like F#Ck!! I down shifted to 4th and felt my *** get a little wide. I gave it some gas, made my poor tires howl, and the back end tucked right back in. I was white when it was all over, and my friend thought it was the coolest thing he had ever been through. Needless to say, I always watch those speed signs now.

Did you take your foot off the throttle or did you just reach the limit without enough warning?
