I'm a complete noob and was just wondering if the posted speed on a track turn says 35mph or 60mph how fast can you REALLY take it? Or what is the best way to determine or feel that you are about to fly off? (i get the feeling that the car become light and the back end is kinda beginning to "float" and get away.) Track racing gurus need your insight!

Depends on your suspension set up.

I've hit a 60mph turn at 110-120 no problems.

Double the indicated limit as a starting point. better suspension can increase this number but road conditions will dictate how far you can actually push it.

Tracks do not have indicated speed limits and that is the only place you can safely push the car. Too many variables on the street (oil, water, antifreeze, etc) will limit grip.

Don't forget tires. I'm not sure how our stock tires compare in the grand scheme of all tires - I think they are pretty good - but then again I see my SLIP light come on quite a bit...

Obviously the OP is talking about public roads and not the track.

If you feel the rear end losing traction (oversteer), that's as fast as you can take it safely with your current suspension setup. There are too many variables to say a certain number - banking, road condition, tires, arc of the curve, entry speed, etc. Once you determine the max safe speed for a given curve, you can use it as a reference for the effectiveness of any suspension modifications you do. If you add lowering springs the speed should increase. If you add sways, the speed should increase. You can see the effect of each mod you make.

As long as road conditions are good, the G can generally take turns at 2x the posted recommendation easily. 3x is possible with experience, but definately not recommended.

Take it to the track.

There are so many factors in to this question.

i.e. Driver experience, tires, suspension, etc etc.

^also the track itself as well. You gotta factor in the condition of the track, camber of the road, elevation, etc etc....
