90 degree corner at 75mph? Either you need to brush up on basic geometry, your speedo's broken or you've got flubber for rubber.

You obviously haven't been in an FC with a dialed in aftermarket suspension.
Just add the following for example and transform your car:
-KYB AGX or Tokico Illumina adj. shocks.
-Racing Beat sway bars & toe-eliminator bushings.
-"max-perf." category tires (i.e. - Pilots, PZeros, SO-2/SO-3's)

Carefully go around a long curved onramp (or some other continous, smooth curve) until you get near the limit of adhesion (your car will probably understeer). When you approach the limit, the rear will have sort of a rubbery feel like the *** end wants to step in and out. That's what it feels like transitioning in the DTSS.

This also is transmitted in the steering feel and IMO (and plenty of others) reduces the maximum limit of adhesion, you'll get better/more predictable steering feedback with the toe-eliminator bushings installed. They're made of delrin (very hard).

Not including the install cost this is probably the best $40 spent on an FC if you like whipping corners.

Yeah, fix the suspension. Get some new shocks and springs, or just get some good tires. I like cornering so I am biased away from a loud azz exhaust that wouldn't give you much more pep compared to how much louder it would be.

The auto adjust might work but I doubt it allows the car to handle as well as if you had new shocks / struts, lowered a little, braced the front towers with a tri-strut brace (they are on ebay right now for $65), and some new link bushings.

Of course, it is a lot easier to change mufflers than all that stuff related to the car's handling.
