Took forever to get places, then I joined this forum when I bought my S. My life has changed for the best. now if only there was a way for us to let ppl know when we are about to turn, but hey im just a dreamer.

well, even with the high probability that the poster is 15 years of age and has never handled a boob , less a car , and that the question is akin to asking "how long is a piece of string"



the closest answer, to the closest SEMBLANCE of the real intended question, would be: depends on the tires... and their lateral traction , as measured on a skid pad

The question we really should be asking is how fast one can take a 90 degree turn in reverse. JK the fastest I have done one (in a large closed parking lot with out light polls or little plant things) was 51 mph.

Define "losing control" then, and only then, will I tell you Grasshopper.

There is no one formula that works for all 90 degree turns, even with temperature as a factor. Please don't do this, you could end up hurting someone.
