Hi Terry, Yeah thats exactly it - It was part of my work; I wasnt out to find the outer limits of my (recently on the road) 510, especially on a public road, although it wasnt occupied at the time.
Having said that, the 50-60 kmh speeds werent speed limit imposed - I reckon you'd be hard pressed to take the corner much more than 60 kmh. Maybe if any Melb listers want to have a go, we could hook up the data logger to get some quantative measure of the 1600s performance limits?
