Yaris speed turns
I'm wondering whats the fastest you've gone in a sharp turn(what angle have you) someone told me that a mini cooper can go 45mph on a sharp turn (which i think is bs but...) I think i've gon 30mph but i have a stock suspention
(your definition of a sharp turn)

Tires/suspension, I have done the 90degree turn in about the 20-30mph range. Any faster you will lose all traction and crash.

i've gone a pretty tight curve, probably like 100ft curve which almost goes almost 140 degrees, around 100km/h with megan coilovers and sticky tires.

Depends on how tight the turn is and how you drive. On hairpins, the fastest I can usually get around them is aounrd 40mph/60kph exit speeds, of course lower if the radius is smaller. On 90*/rightangled corners, gripping; I can usually hit them at 45mph/70kph before I understeer wide. HOWEVER, if you throw the car into a slide so that you have completed *most* of the rotation for the corner by the apex, you will less understeer-related problems. With this method, exit speeds ride to about 50mph/80kph. Note that is is not drift with crazy slip angles, and if you are using little/any opposite lock countersteer, you are loosing speed as your are trying to 'recover' the slide. Think more rally technique rather than drift. Those who have driven/played on dirt know that to drive a car fast in low traction situations require a different technique to overcome understeer, usually by rotating the car before the apex to reduce the steering input on exit and allowing to power out without running excessively wide. Well; once you reach the grip threshold of your tires, it becomes a low traction situation, just like drivingon dirt, but at much higher speeds...
Remember, the track's the only safe place to experiment... :-)
