Yea if you want to see your new limits - your just not going any higher than your previous Limits - If you hold down the Bottom Left Button it should reset.

.98 the day I bought the car lol.

Breaking G and max G are different though. I would be more interested in knowing what people routinely saw as a breaking point on the Vs.

With 245s and a stock suspension my breaking point was about .96-.98 on both sides. With 275s out back on the stock rim that dropped to .93ish. With 275s and strut tower bars the breaking point is about .98 again. I just slapped on the new suspension mods, so after the car is aligned Ill give you all a breaking number with the 275s and toe rods/trailing arms. I cant wait for the 315s and widened rims...

Granted these are all "safe and sane" street numbers.

I want a breaking point of 1.02g without having to purchase Penskes or running R compounds.
