3g cornering
yes 2.5 sec 0-60 3 g acceleration turn go and stop $325,000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeZ5nM4nL28
and its street legal
its a blur its a jet no it's a street legal f1 car

RE: 3g cornering
ya 3g's?? i dunno about that...i think f1 cars typically pull about 2 or so(tho dont quote me on that). street legal too? maybe in other parts of the world, damn emissions on amurca haha

Where do you see it doing 3g's in a corner??

F1 cars can do 4.5 G

An F1 car is designed principally for high-speed cornering, thus the aerodynamic elements can produce as much as three times the car's weight in downforce, at the expense of drag. In fact, at a speed of just 130 km/h, the downforce equals the weight of the car. As the speed of the car rises, the downforce increases. The turning force at low speeds (below 70 to about 100 km/h) mostly comes from the so-called 'mechanical grip' of the tyres themselves. At such low speeds the car can turn at 2.0 g. At 210 km/h already the turning acceleration is 4.0g, as evidenced by the famous esses (turns 3 and 4) at the Suzuka circuit. Higher-speed corners such as Blanchimont (Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps) and Copse (Silverstone Circuit) are taken at above 5.0g, and 6.0g has been recorded at Suzuka's 130-R corner. This contrasts with the 1.3 g of the Enzo Ferrari, one of the best racing sports cars.
