Why is it that most people see a MP3, think its just a little protg with rims and think they can hang with it around curves? The other day I was driving along and here comes this rx7, 2nd gen, coming up fast in my passenger side mirror. The road that we were on is a pretty straight two laneer but up ahead of us there was a large tight 30 Mph curve, the really nice thing about it, its in the middle of no where, so no cops, and no other cars. But this guy pulls up on the side of me and starts honking (like the three honk, GO), were we going about 45 miles an hour, I see the 30 Mph curve (My MP3 calculations, see a sign that tells you the safe speed around a curve multiply that by 2 and boom you have the MP3 safe speed. (30 x 2 = 60)) So I PUNCH IT! Half way around curve the guy thinks he can hang, but it cant (always know your cars ability) so he starts to fish tail, I look back in my review mirror and his side way across both lane and then starts to roll backward into the median. The guys car didnt flip or any thing, but I hook around to check on him. I pull up on the side of this guys car and the first thing that he said was WOW! I like your car! I didnt think it could take curve like that. If some of you MP3 people didnt know already, our cars have been proven to hook a curve better than a WRX and we can hang with the Porsche 911 turbo's not speed of course.
