Highest Gs?

....ok, flame suit is on.

I just pulled a 1.07 on a right hand turn up in North Jersey. I took camera phone pics that I will post. Anyone else hit anything this high?

If anything, I had a bit of oversteer coming out of the turn.

Hell no! I just couldn't believe it pulled that even at peak. Figured I'd post it up.

I use my ipod touch's dynolicious to calculate my G's. So it may not be 100% correct.

If it's mounted properly it should be pretty accurate.

i'd say dun worry bout the flame suit, ppl will be peaking over 0.90G's but only for a second or 2, i saw a picture of the RPD months ago showing over 1.00G's. I'm not sure wat the difference is when calculating it but peak G's and actual sustained G's are a little different.

This is the factory RPD, not dynolicious. Also, it was 1.07 Gs. The picture was taken after I stopped the vehicle at my friend's house.

Was it on a flat surface with a constant radius?

I hit .75 G's around a turn. That's the highest that I have noticed.... So it definately could be more!
