Im just curious as to if the car should be able to handle that. Mine is lowered 1.5inches so that should help as well

The limits are relatively low with the traction control on, it's not a porsche.
In the middle of the turn is where the most g's are likely to happen.
If you know how to properly handle a car, why do you even have traction control on?

Try sport mode or turning traction control off.
Do the same turn multiple of times with it on and off. If you "know how to properly handle a car" and do it multiple times, I don't see why it would be unsafe.

What suspension are you on? This car is known to hit bump stops deep into a turn which could unsettle it. Springs lower than 1inch or have soft rates have this problem.

Do you turn traction control off at VIR?
