I doubt he takes it as fast as he can, but the X is pretty good at that type of a turn. Gates in the video looked like he was already moving pretty damn quick into that turn.

Check this vid to see the car hit the corner a little harder -

Correct, 188mph at 9,500rpms. Could go faster....haha
And regarding the cost of the car...it's hard to put it all together into one figure. Like mentioned up there, sponsors have really helped out with the car...but it's not like it just happened. I had to 'invest' (haha) a significant amount to get things started with the car back in early '08. All worth it though, the car is turning out pretty badass and fun!
