Fastest turn you have taken in your RX-8
Just took a turn at 39mph. I know it doesn't seem fast, but that's coming from a truck owner who had to take turns at 10mph. So what's the fastest turn you guys have taken?

The relative fun of a corner taken at speed depends on the pavement type, radius of turn, weather conditions, existence of follow-up turns, as well as velocity.
If you like turning at speed, I recommend trying an autocross event.

Huge hole is huge
I hear ya on that. One of those slight turns to the right where a stoplight is...well, no cars anywhere, so I dropped it to second, and punched it. Probably closer to 45, but when my back end lost a little grip, I was going right for a street sign. Good thing I didn't lose too much grip, cause I caught back on easily.
Scared me enough to never do it again!
