Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,

On a "non-aero" chassis with modern racing tires on a perfect surface, the max that I have seen is 1.56G. (Note: this is steady state 200 ft radius skid pad numbers. You can always spike the numbers with rapid steering input but those numbers are bogus.)

These numbers are very hard to produce and you will need perfect conditions to get there.

What you can expect with normal conditions is around 1.1G with proper camber setup.

And any of the current "Cobras" can be set up to handle quite well.

It is all a matter of what you start with and what it takes to get there.
