Default How many G's Have You Pulled?

Just wondering how many G's you have pulled,
Let's not say if it was on the street or strip


I have very simple bolt-ons and have been pulling solid .75- 0.8s

I can't break .86 on the lat... it starts to step out on me

I am still shocked how much fun this DD has become..

whod have guessed a 4door sedan would be .

You should drive a G8.

I was playing in some curves to get that and a couple of guys that autocross have gotten over 1G as well.

I pulled it from google images, lol. Think it was from a Solstice site.

Like yours, too, but the LS4 is a 325.

Here's mine on stock tires. .78 is my best Accel so far but hoping for .8s this spring with the DR.

My Lat Gs may give way to that I really enjoy how the GXP handles.

Mine are in auto but I've never hit the .8s on the accel.

My suspension is stock except I'm running 255/40/18 front tires.

I haven't been pulling over .73 lately, it is so cold and my tires will not find traction at all .. windchill has been in the teens, the pavement hasn't really been above freezing either..

but with your list mods you should be past .56 for sure.. My car was pulling those numbers when it was stock...My best numbers have been with tap not auto though.

Keep in mind the G's will be higher if accelerating down hill, braking up hill, etc.
Mine's at .8 something, but I was on a down hill on ramp.
