Top 10 Highest Lateral G - Benchracing - Sport Compact Car Magazine

Impressive numbers from the spoon fit, pulling more Gs than the Lotus Elise.

wow. impressive. it's the only front wheel drive car on the list. i think it's safe to say that Spoon Sports knows what they're doing when tuning the suspension of a car.

Judging by the accuracy of the kart and f1 car, I don't have much hope for the other numbers. Are they actually saying that a F1 car can only do .2g better than a s2000? A kart can do 2.5g and a F1 car can pull over 3.0

Keep in mind it's an F1 car from 1983 and it's on a skidpad so no down force working for it.

Heheh. I still love how I can pull right lane to right lane turns in residential zones at 20 mph without hitting the center line (especially at T sections). It trips out on coming cars all the time.
