I am all ears if you can give me your secret on how to make a 45mph turn from 100 mph without the brakes

Generic cheapies, yes mostly 3rd gear bend from 90mph

I wasn't trying to be an ásshole... Maybe just need to use the engine braking more, don't be afraid to downshift when the next gear down would take the car to redline... One, let alone 5 hard stops from 100 to 45 won't raise your brake temps to that high
