I kept the rpm's quite low, at about 3400, only gasssing it to to 3900 out of the turn and then shifting to past 55 mph. It did this turn steady and smooth, minor amount of tire screech (just a tiny amount noticed). Traction control never came on, and when I turned right out of the turn quickly after a full 360, the car did not do what all other cars I have driven do, it did not snap back and forth. No motion, just redirected itself to where I went, no dramatics, no roll, no nothing.

this car is sick!

Don't have anything quite like that near me but I'm really enjoying the much decreased body roll even with the addition of a bumpier ride.

I've been on some somewhat long circular on-ramps at 40-45mph according to the curve speed limit signs and they're so much more fun than when I used to drive my parents' Sienna minivan or Camry .
