How does your car handle in the corners?
I just saw the top speed post that was on here. Sorry if I'm bringin up an old topic, but I wanted to know whats the fastest you've done on winding roads.
See my aunt just got a new Jetta TDi and man does that thing perform good for a diesal. We had that thing going between 75 - 80mph around turns ment to be taken at 45 or 50mph. Its way better than I expected it to be. It had very little body roll I mean very little. Last edited by Wes Moran; 05-15-2003 at 08:43 PM.

jettas have quite a bit of body roll... not sure what you were driving...
speed in a corner is not indicative of power at all. it's indicative of your cornering ability and suspension... i regularly take 45mph corners in 5th gear at 75+... but that doesn't mean i've got a fast car... flat out, i've hit 130+... but i can run faster than most cars in the twisties as well... you can really compare, b/c your 40mph corner is not my 40mph corner... too many variables

I wasn't trying to say it has power.
I wasnt really trying to say it has power just that I thought it has good handiling for a stock Jetta or at least better than I expected. But still it really didnt have that much body roll.

Yeah! I agree with flylwsi about there being to many variables. You just can't compare so many different corners and speeds and other crap. Other than that, I can say I have done 137mph. I plan on beating that record soon now that I have updated my car. New tires, brakes, Automatic transmission cooler. I'm readdy to go!

Two words. 924 Turbo. Hailed as one of the best handling production cars ever, along with the 944, it eats complex corners 3 meals a day
 My brother has a very nice turbo, and the other day we drove about 150kms in it, at one point through some fair twisty roads... Not long before my 924 is on the road, and being lighter with very low sidewall tires, it should be a little bit quicker in the corners. Soon with a 944 suspension swap and higher springates, I should be running 70mph slalom times <ok, so 924 isn't really a word, but for this purpose, we'll make it one  >
