ntrly. my car is just plain unstable... the front camber's all wrong, rear struts are shot, and the car tries to steer itself over ANY imperfection in the road. matter of fact sometimes the car will overreact to the raised paint of dashed white lines. the road leading to where i live is RIDDLED with potholes, and my car feels like it's bouncing and juking over every one of them... i'm just along for the ride.

plus with the problems i'm having with my engine and stuff i'm trying to keep the revs below 3k, which is like 75mph for me. so, 100 would be 4k, which i won't do. the reason the turn feels effortless is just because you're on adrenaline, not because the speed helps the car. this is just a nose heavy FWD family car. there is no downforce or anything to stabilize the car at high speeds...... only cars i know of that handle better the faster you go are F1 cars, because the wings create more downforce the faster you go.
