What is the fastest you have ever taken a 35 mph curve ?

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 02-21-2007, 06:12 PM

Took one when I was a teen racing a friend of mine @ 95 mph ! Went sideways a few times finally got it under control. My friend was in a 82 z28 I was in a 2.2 Charger. When I come through the curve looked in my rear view mirror and my buddy was glued to my azz. Said f**k it I and give up the race. A guy riding shotgun with me said he bout shart on himself. No way I do that now go easy in the curves. Kraziest thing about it was my tires were $20 a piece re-treads

actually it might have been faster. The cars speedo only went to 85 mph and had been bouncing through the straight a way b4 we hit the curve

honestly don't know ... usually looking at the tach or nose of the car and not the speedometer

the skid marks indicated 105

With a street bike and a super elevated curve I have comfortably taken curves in excess of 200km easy.

I took a 90 degree turn at 65m.p.h. My friends and I were going up a hill that peaks at the top and goes right into a 90. Well, I didn't know that and there were no signs and they told me the road was straight. Needles to say, I am not friends with them anymore. I saw the 90 and said F-it, no way am I gonna make the turn, and I went right into a corn field with my parent Cadillac.

I went 80 in 10-15mi one time by mistake, I raced this mustang gt beat the shit outta him, and was slowing to 100 took an exit, forgot the exit is really short and it curves 360 degrees, it was pitch dark all I remember I punched the brakes 2-3 time with a sec interval I dropped to 75-80 and pretty much drifted outta control almost ended up in a ditch, I thought my tires came off... I drifted once then countered reacted the wheel direction then drifted again slowed to 30 and finished the remaining of 360 degree while I was in shock... what a freaking rush... then 2-3 weeks later the Tokyo drift movie came out.

I was like ... been there done that...

if Im going as fast as I can in a 35mph curve ...Im not looking at the speed-o

**eddierox** · 02-22-2007, 10:47 AM

In all honesty I don't do high speed 35 mph curves unless their's plenty of open field green for me to slide about on.
I'm not gonna f**k my car all up just because I've a hankering to see if my high speed radials can stick to a quasi-known surface.

ditto, not only that but every curve is different.
now the fastest 30mph curve I didnt make was a 90degree corner around 120 or so the cops said.. yeah its not good to over drive your headlights

. I know in hindsight I prolly could of made the corner but I didnt want to risk wraping it around a tree with a passenger in the car and i had a nice crash zone so thats what i did, turned out ok except for the driving to endanger charge but i was able to drive the car away and since it was my turd gen it wasnt the end of the world

**predator** · 02-22-2007, 03:40 PM

Yeah about 90 or 95... I was trying to outrun a cruiser bike... I atleast outran its rider...

This is kind of a dumb question, since there's 35mph turns that you can't really take past 65, yet there's one near my house that you can probably take at 120. They are all to different to really pile into one category.
