Pretty bad question haha but I don't like the fact that a Lancer can only do so much on a straight line... So I wanna take it to a track for Auto X or something. How well would it handle around corners?

GTS has sport tuned suspension. It will handle very nicely. It's made to go "sideways" quicker than it does a straight line. It will drive circles around most in it's price range and class.

To answer your question, unless you hit something while sliding sideways it won't flip. I was coming up on a Semi on the freeway, I looked down to tune radio, the semi changed lanes real fast and there was a car doing about 45 ( I'm doing 75), I had only one thing I could, flip the wheel to the left. I lost control & swerved back & forth twice then did a 180 & slid into the median. Didn't even kill the engine. I just drove out of the median and continued on my way. That is how I know the GTS doesn't flip easy. I don't want to try it again thou.
