    Get yourself a Gtech and measure it for yourself. Anything else is meaningless speculation, since what your car achieves is highly dependent on road surface, suspension, tires, and, to a degree, driver skill.

    Default great observation

    Really. I would assume a downhill curve just turning uphill would give the best numbers. I sure know this type of curve feels great!

    it should have more than the seats can support ... in other words, you should either end up on the door panel or the e-brake before you finish the turn.

    god i hate leather. someone trade me their cloth seats.
