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!

With better tires you can push a bit over 60 on that before breaking loose and at about 70 it's a full drift. Gotta do it late on a Tuesday night though The one at Fire Island is smaller so the speed is lower but it's also a whole big ball o' fun
