Can't be answered. Too many variables are involved. For example, the 90 degree turn entering into this wide canyon road by my house I can take at 80 or 90 because the turn is banked and I'm coming from wide flat road to another one that is as wide (or at least as wide for the next 1/4 mile) with no problems. If I did the same thing making the 90 degree turn on to the street where I live, the corner house would become my new garage.

Four-lane into four-lane (with some radius on the approach):
No Limit.

If youre going 80mph+, jerk the car to the left when you're about 200ft from the turn, then quickly to the right. As soon as you feel the rear end lose traction, counter-steer and pull up the e-brake. You should be able to cut a 90 degree turn without trouble
