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... |

40-50kph faster is a BIG difference, especially on a corner where 60kph is pushing it. I may not have driven an ST205 but I've driven a couple of wrx's including an STI with semis and other awd's and while they handled better, only a couple would of been 10-20kph faster, the sti had the same tyres as I had at the time and I've cruised often with the guy who owned it and I can tell you theres no way that things gets around a corner 50kph faster.
Also a 120kph corner the difference is going to be more... This post has been edited by Euphoria: Apr 25, 2011 - 9:24 PM |
