Since my accident with my GT4, I've been a little scared of driving faster that 60mph on the highway and taking sharp corners...How much can this car handle in corners without losing control?
I also drive a Mazdaspeed protege as daily car and I take sharp corners no problem, it's really only with the GT4 that I am scared...

GT4's don't have that up front like SS-III's.

I've owned both, SS-III slides wide about 40-50kph slower than a GT4 does mid corner smile.gif

Eg if an SS-III (stock susp.) took a corner at 60kph and it was so badly cambered that it slid wide, a GT4 (stock susp.) could take that same corner at about 100+kph before sliding wide
