So you only notice this as soon as you started making that curve? Did it all of a sudden jump from normal speed to alot higher? Or did it just start going up really fast? Do you not pay any attention to your speed that you wouldve realized this before going into the curve?

I feel like theres a big part missing here...

i'm sorry. 155 mph, in a canyon, around a curve. I don't think the s2000 could manage a canyon pass at that speed. Nothing short of an Formula 1 vehicle could do that.

s2000 on a skidpad pulls .91g stock. (Road and Track Feb 2007)

curve must be the largest and longest corner EVER, located in a canyon.

Are you sure they did not sell you a Lambo by accident?
