I've been happy pushing the 180 to the limit, tyres squealing. It's not like a small error will spell disaster - a small error just means you miss the apex and run a bit wide, or get a slower run onto the next straight. While perhaps not the most sophisticated or grippiest of cars, the S-body chassis is fundamentally very benign in its responses, it's not waiting to kill you.
