The Michelin PS2s , man those things are great, especially compared to the runflats. I've heard the HUD G meter controversy and the thing is, the only thing that makes it way off is if you have a decent amount of incline/decent around a turn. The shot in the vid is on a flat surface, which I think would give the closest results for the factory meter.
But then again, they are not exactly the best 'street' tires, although 'streetable'.

I'm far from jealous. I was simply stating how it's funny that he can call someone out because of a lack of video while his was about as inconclusive as an Arizona UFO siting.

Mattism...look...I understand your point, but it is what it is. No tricks, no bs. The car took a turn at speed and continued to accelerate through it up to 120+mph. I don't understand why you're so interested in making this into some sort of pissing match or conspiracy theory vid. The cam was on the wheel, if I could've had a dash mount or held it up there while the turn was made, then the vid may be better, or it may have been more shaky, it's a moot point now. There's no reason to continue to brow beat the vid, it you don't like it, don't watch it again. If you don't like what I've said, don't view this thread again.

These kind of videos are pointless when it would be easy to fake it.
Post them with proof (not flaming you)
I would not do stuff like that on street tires, even on PS2's.
Next time just get a camera mount.
I must say thought that holding a camera while doing that is a death wish.
I have driven C5's and C6's and yes they are impressiv but remember that back in the early 80's Porsche was building 4 banger cars that were pulling almost a full G if not a full G on street tires back then. No PS2's or anything
Production cars that you can now pick up for a few grand in great shape.

i got a button that switches to the "performance" shift tables that i've edited for this kind of stuff. hell, any auto guy can throw in a button (fbodies: momentary ground connected to pin J1-71 on the pcm) and activate the "performance" mode... and a tuner can access the performance table and customize for shift points, locking/unlocking converter, shift speeds, shift pressures.
i like manual transmissions, but now i'm finding i can push through corners harder when i don't have to mess with a clutch and take my hand off the wheel for a shift.

With the A6 tranny, you can go into "manu-matic" type shift to avoid shifting when you don't want to , all my tables/limiters are tuned specifically the way I like for that application. All of the stuff I have posted have been in full auto, though. Maybe I need to do a vid of the car going through the gears when I shift rather than the computer...I'll need more hands or a camera mount one...

Apparently you didn't pick up my extreme sarcasm.
You shouldn't be shifting around corners at that speed, especially on street tires. It's called setting up for a turn...
Traction light on, yeah, because it shifted and disrupted the car in the turn...
Actually, after I watched it a second time you lifted, and got squirlly
