corner entry speed

just curious to see how fast most of you take a 90 degree turns

when i went to the track i just wanted to see how fast i could go into this 90 degree turn - almost thought i was going to go off course taking it at 52mph

did not half throttle/ heel toe in the turn, i just released the gas and turned

on a fairly large 90 degree turn how fast are yals entry speed? obviously once the tires start draggin and your not heel-toeing 55 mph entry speed turns into 25mph - so i am just curious about yals entry speeds.

post em up


edit suspension work: tien springs and nitto tires - stock sway bars

Why the hell would you try taking 90 degree turns at 50 mph on public roads?

Cue flame throwers.

Ya know... I honestly have no idea what my exact speeds are as I am too busy working my brakes, adjusting the attitude of the car and looking up to find the entry of the next corner.

In short the number really means little to me and even less on public roads. If you want to drive like this please consider HPDEs or track days where you can learn the cars and your limits in a safer way.

Dude, we have all done things we should not have done on public roads.

Just do not expect us to tell you that you are cool for doing it.

Even without addressing the fact this is not related to any motor sport, the question itself doesn't make sense at all.

There are infinite types of 90-degree turns when you consider how wide the track is before, during, and after the turn; track surface; suspension, tires, alignment;etc.

Editing your first post was pretty sneaky but considering the responses (and your second post), it's obvious this was done on the street.
