Default Maximum G Force?
Just wondering what kind of g-force others have been able to achieve - folks with HUDs please respond - I haven't been able to push myself past 0.74 g's (need to go to driving school?), however, temperatures have been only around 40 Farenheit or so. I don't know if this makes a difference?

Please also mention whether in a C6 or Z06.

Hopefully he will jump in on this thread, but my neighbor pulled a 1.23 on a base suspension.
He's got the HUD pic to prove it

I've hit .98 (so far) doing a sharp right hand turn into my driveway before putting the car away in January. I've got the F55 with Z06 bars. I know for sure I can do 1+.

I will be back at it again in a few days

Ok, how do you guys read that small number driving that aggressive? They need to make that display a little bigger.

I couldn't tell you. The times when I've been in a 'maximum G-force' situation I was too busy watching where the Hell I was going.
