I have a C6 Z06. Essentially, every time I track my car and I check the max G's pulled during a run a get 1.27g's. Doesn't matter if I am on street tires or the Hoosiers. Occasionally I will get something below this but never above this. I run in competition mode. I wonder if this is the maximum force it takes before the electronic nannies kick in and that is why I cannot exceed the 1.27?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes. You are exactly correct, it is a sensor limitation.

Additionally, you will find your MPG never falls below 6 mpg.

I don't want to contradict what you're saying but, I have seen 1.30+ a few times on Hoosiers. And when I bury my foot to the floor I have seen 3 mpg.

Just my observations,

Dave, are you running in competition mode?

tjZ06

Of topic, but I see 1.30+ on a GTech in your old car, w/ a high of 1.39. And that's on flat-ground (AutoX)!

Sometimes I run in Comp Mode, most of the time I run with everything off. I wonder if that makes a difference?

You need a neck brace for those kind of G's . I miss that car alot. No matter what I do to my C6Z06 it's still not as predictable as that car was.

1.37 was the highest G reading I have seen to date. That was last year at Infineon coming out of the turn 6 on fresh Michelin Sport Cups. I regularly see 1.3 in the middle of turn 2 at Thunder Hill.

When are we going to go to TH together? I have 3 track days up there over the next month. Are you down?

I have a track day at Infineon on Oct 5th (through work again) so I have a few things to square away before that. Once that's done I should be ready to hit track days on a more regular basis. I've still been fighting those PCV issues and just AutoXin' a lot so track days have taken a back seat. I need to land a set of used front 710s for the stock wheels before the 5th too.
