I sometimes have to turn fast by my school to make a turn on a street where cars are allllways coming in the morning, but punching the pedal on my SD results in a VERY brisk takeoff....followed by one of the rear tires going "reeet!" during the 1-2 shift during the turn....it moves very fast. I can't imagine trying to pull off a turn faster than the car can do, thats way risky. Wait for a bigger gap! Factory spec says 4.2 secs for an SD to hit 35mph, I know mine does it in less than that....I'd say 3.5 seconds...tops. My maxed out ALDA helps a lot too, I can take off like lightning.
