Back in the day with the Corvair (fitted with the widest tires that I 
could cram in there) I found that I could take most ramps, curves etc. 
at double the sign-recommended speeds.

This exit is marked with a yellow 30 MPH recommendation sign. So far the 
fastest I've taken it is 48 mph. I don't think it's going to be up to 
Corvair cornering standards.
