fast turns/traction control
#2
I fit the description and take normal 90 degree turns like that at 30 with no problem. The only time traction control kicked in was when I was accelerating pretty good through a turn and the rear end started to come out.
The traction controls does work from a stand still. On a dirt road for example, the car will spin for a sec. then the ASR (traction control) will kick up the gas pedal.

The speed at which you can take a 90 degree turn depends on the radius of the arc, and road conditions.
There are placed where if I apex the turn i can do 40, and there are other spots where i am doing under 10.
The traction control will not kick in (from my experience) in a situation like that, because power off when you are a good part WOT in a hard turn would put your car into a spin. instead, the traction control is more for straight line acceleration. In a turn your limited slip should be the primary traction device.
I have found that the traction control in really nasty weather is counter intuitive and has put my car in worse situations than without it about 50% of the time. However it also limits wheel spin very effectively when trying to climb a steep grade at a low speed, keeping your car somewhat in one lane... something I have not been able to figure out how to do with just my feet (cant cut the power/revs that low... the ASR lets it run at 500RPM or so with cut timing to limit the power at that rpm)
