You're thinking of turn 10, yes? Turn 9 is a flat out slight bend to the right.
I haven't driven the car so I can't speak to the car's power characteristics but a NA miata will do ~105 actual on the back straight. 120
might be possible with someone running on the ragged edge. But even then I don't think it has the straight line speed to do that, and certainly not with a salesman behind the wheel, and DEFINITELY there is no "going sideways at 120." Besides we all know indicated =/= actual speed.
