No, no, I downshift and hit the gas going into off-ramps. It's a game..... and I never get the issue you described. I never head into off-ramps without downshifting, I guess it's just me. This issue would also have a lot to do with what gear you were in, no? In 6th, I could see where it would feel like it wasn't slowing down............

If you are accelerating into a turn, you are going to slow. I come into them at speed, brake initially, turn in, slight throttle if needed, and then you are at the edge of a spin/drift, and at the point, I will lift and ride it out a little (sometimes longer since MA doesn't develop on/off ramps well, and they become a decreasing radius), and that is when you will feel it. I am always in the sweet spot of the particular gear (usually 3rd). Steve, if you are ever in the Providence/Boston area, let me know, I will show you it.
