Your peak g reading is what....?
Thread on reprogramming our g meters to read above 1.27 got me thinking about peak g readings seen on our hud. On a new set of oem runflats, I've seen 1.22 on a flat road course. Interestingly, on a near corded set of oem runflats, I still saw a 1.19.
The highest I've seen on a public road was 1.06 since I do try to drive responsibly at times.
I've never been on non-oem tires with this car, but a friend with a Z06 on Khumos pegged at the 1.27 limit of the meter. And you.....?

I see that on most tracks with my Toyo R888s.
I think 1.18 was most I saw on GYs.

Yeah, i missed that from my CTS-V as well. I also had an '05.
Anyways, on street tires, highest I've seen on, no track, is 1.06. I regularly see .87-.96.

I saw 1.03 at a hot lap track event. I think I pulled a higher number on the course but wasn't able to verify by looking at HUD, I was too busy driving.

Its nice to see that some drive their cars as they were designed. With Hoosier type tires, the g readings these things will do are amazing.
