Another VSA saved my ass story

Around 10pm tonight on my way home on I270 I am in the middle lane and the car infront of me moves to the left lane because traffic in our lane was slowing down. I look at the right lane which was clear so I move to it and speed up. I'm probably doing 75 or 80 at this point. There are concrete barriers on each side of the road, no shoulder. On an entrance ramp I happen to see and accident, people are outside of their cars checking the damage. When I look up at the road again the Idiot infront of me is at a dead stop. I stomp on my brakes but have too much momentum to stop in time. There was just enuffffff room to squeze by so I swing to the right. Tires screeming, I get past the stopped car and pull back to the left. Now I start to fish tail I release the brake and the car begins to speed up on its own. All this time the VSA light if flashing like crazy. The only thing going thru my mind now is I'm going to f*** my car up on these concrete barriers. I have little to no doubt that if it was not for VSA I would be posting wrecked Cl pictures here or be in the Hospital on drips or something. Dam I love that car....

Yes, I love VSA, Im happy that everything went well for you. The question is with stock tires, realistically how fast can one of those 90 degree right hand turns into the middle lane, without spinning out.
