About 50-55 -- but I didn't make it. In fact, I over corrected from a slide, spun around and SLAMMED into a very large curb! My car is in the shop now -- I am hoping for a total...

...and then get dropped from Geico -- considering the Law threw the book at me.

Lost of 30mph - 35mph 90 degree right turns with out any drama. Once did a 4 wheel drift for ~ a foot while turning 40mph+, the stock S02 (@1000 miles) didn't even squeak.

My car will do over 1.3 g's on a concrete autox course. I suggest you learn to corner fast where there are not any other cars to hit. Race tracks are also a lot of fun, but you can do serious damage to your car at race track speeds.

A track and an instructor make a lot more sense than most of the stuff detailed in this thread... and the damage potential is much lower than any of this stuff on public roadways.

108 mph. Just saying 90 degrees doesn't mean anything. I'm sure the 90 degree corner I've taken at 108 isn't the same.
