if you can hang the turn, controlling slide and grip is the key.... me and a buddy (he drives an 89 celica gt-s) both do various s-curves around our hometown. Only the REAL skilled drivers take corners and curves.

I think its a rush myself.... driving or riding along...

yeah dude.....ive been taking some clover onramps going 70-75 with minimal push....I could probably go faster but the car is mine and not sponsored....i.e. wreck = insurance points!!!!

I just got the DC Sports Frnt Strt Br and will be installing it....hopefully that will alleviate some of the tightness.

stock suspension and stock height = lots of body roll

i'm a little scared to take turns so fast....there is this turn that i used to take with my corolla after i got my new suspension on it, amazing. it's at the bottom of a hill and it's nearely a right angle. i'm a little scared that i will blow a tire with such low profile tires, should i be concerned?

I'm a little disappointed with the tC's handling so far. I will definately upgrade the suspension once more options are available. My 5gen Prelude handled like it was on rails with a Koni/Eibach combo. I'll be happy to be able to get my tC to somewhere near that.

is that why the tires kinda have a lip around the edge of them? as to protect the rims?
