Default Fastest 90 degree turn taken?

Just wondering, what was the fastest anyone here has taken a 90 degree turn at? Fastest I've taken one is at 35 mph. And thats without taking the apex and all that bullshit. Just going straight one second and then just turning it the next second. Car felt VERY VERY stable. For those of you that have gone over 40, how did you do it?

P.S. I know our car can handle way more than 35mph, I just havn't grown balls enough yet to do it. I bet it's so much fun though because just at 35mph, IT FELT AMAZING!!!

I did it at about 45 mph and the nose plowed right through the intersection. Totally understeered. Keep in mind that this was a center-to-lock in 0.1 second 90 degree try.

30mph... but the curve I took was exactly 90 degrees. Going the other way, there is a stop sign. There is no intersection per say. A friend was with me and I just yanked the wheel. Both of us were completely amazed. I mean its my car, and I couldn't believe it. The seats did a good job of keeping me in place too.

I took a corner between 30 and 35 and my Dunlop SP 9000's were howling the whole way through the corner. It was very cool, very controlable and a lot of fun.

have taken them in control up to 40 mph (with passengers)- only had the rear slip slightly once with no problem controlling it,
and
lost control somewhere around 50 (my guess, i was not looking at the dash at the time!), in full vtec (was a 90 degree turn, but i took it really wide- i thought i would pass in a right hand lane on a 4 lane road). rear broke loose with no warning, and not slowly either!

I did a nice 90 degree turn-in going about 50 (I wasn't exactly paying attention to the speedo) - decelerating from 90 down to 15, on a downward slope, sliding thru gravel, with a car coming the other way at me. Slight plowing, the rear end slid out a bit (gravel), tires squealing - it was a blast!

This car turns like nothing I've ever driven/ridden in. A 240 HP go-kart
