That video's pretty old, but always fun to watch. Sounds like that X has a dirt bike engine. Anyhow, I do that a couple a of times a week on my way home from work. Just can't seem to get her to roll...

I take turns pretty fast but sometimes I forget im in an SUV and I feel as if the car is going to roll so I have slow down fast.

I guess if I upgraded to 20s from 18s that would solve the problem.

You must really be hitting those curves hard. I have never felt like the X is gonna roll.

I do indeed.

For some reason other SUVs want to race me on the highway.

Not the high-end ones, but so far a ford escape and a big expedition.

I raced the Expedition on my exit ramp. He was flooring it on the corners and looking back the car looked so unstable. Surprisingly he was keeping up, but I wasnt flooring it (not so comfortable with those corners to go 80+)
