Here is the full video. In turn 9 (had to be, after I re-looked at the track map, which makes sense if you watch my street vid I posted earlier), I was above .9G for 7 seconds and above 1.0G for almost 3 (starts @ 1:12 on vid). The limits on that car, before you have to start making any corner steering correction from overdriving it, are way higher than I would have ever guessed they could be (for a 4000+ lb family 4-door) with just PS4S's and sway bars. One could argue it is displaying higher than actual I guess, but the designer of the software claims it actually reads a little lower than a V-box. I don't know if it compensates for roll and/or of the factory Ford app does.

(just a note, vids are very large, and sometimes require clicking on the 3 dots, and downloading before they show vid, sorry)
Understand what you guys are saying, you can jerk the wheel and get a very high number, but that is not what is going on here. Even with the crappy quality of video, as I hadn't figured out the best settings yet, you can tell it's not being driven erratically to get "false" instantaneous peaks. In fact, it's pretty boring to watch. Those cars are super quiet, and even the scrub of the tires @ whatever max accel I was at, certainly was not what I would consider "howling". Now when it does get overdriven, it understeers and plows horribly. It's just the limits are very high for what it is. My S197 had kind of the same mods, 295 NT05's rear and 255 NT555's fronts, and larger sway bars front/rear. It's much more neutral over the limit, but not even close to be as planted feeling under/near the limit.
Another vid on Thunderbolt, with much better quality. Think I maxed out @ .94ish that lap. It's was over .9 (not some instant peak) 4 or 5 times. The only thing you can hear the whole time was that erratically driven STI in front of me.

Anyway, when you are done with the mods Larry, you need to get out on a race track. I wish I had started younger. I always thought I pushed cars pretty hard on the street, but it's nothing like the level you push on a track (even being a track newb, at the semi-lame pace I was going in those vids). One of the most fun things I've ever done.
For reference, this was the first time out in my EVO8 (shod with 265 RE-71R's/Sways/Bilstein's/slightly stiffer springs), and first time ever with a man trans. Trying to keep up with the instructor, 2 C7's, and a ZL1 Camaro. Don't think I'll ever track the Stang, probably be too many cooling issues, and I'd kill my self with all that power.

So Norm, if you really think that app is that far, off, I'd like to try and fix it. It has a calibration setup, which I did according to instruction. Also going to pull off the DR's on the Stang, put my summer tires back on, see what I can get out of that with the same app.
Lightly sorry for the huge hijack.............
