I just want to see this thread run it's course.

One of the only ways we'all get to experience acceleration higher than deceleration.
Who has the highest penis inches or the highest accelerometer? :cheers:

Great example... dude, clearly we are talking about OUR cars... aka the GT350, which is a street car lol

Theoretically if big enough brakes were fitted to a dragster, it could stop quicker than it could accelerate simply due to the extreme amount of grip available :p
You said "A car". And theoretically your wrong, there is almost zero grip available for deceleration in a top fuel dragster compared to the amount of grip available for acceleration.

Airplanes fly fast and "cant brake for crap compared to their acceleration" stay in context.
He said, "a car". A top fuel dragster is technically still a car. An airplane however is not. Please stay in context.

This post is making my brain hurt. Go ride a roller coaster with your beanie cap on.
I'm afraid the propeller might make me fly away. If I do ride it, will the roller coaster accelerate or decelerate faster? Lol

Well, I think the propeller may actually act as a spoiler and drive you further into your seat... interesting concept, I'm heading into the garage now to install one on my GT350. Back to the roller coaster, you will hit 1.5G's when you fly out of your seat and go splat on a wall, so to answer your question, clearly the answer is decelerating.

HA! Car: A road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people.

Zitro and J.....Let's please act civil and gentlemen like.

I, in no way belittled, or disrespected either one of you.

Also, let's stay on topic....Not sure where it went off course into a debate over Accel vs Brake G's. I NEVER mentioned Accel, I asked about Lateral and Brake.

Site admin: Can a guy ask a question on this forum without getting destroyed in 0-2 seconds flat? Where is the decency.

1.5G sounds like Viper ACR with extreme aero pack and KUMHO ECSTA V720 ACR. Look at the aero comparison for stock GT350R you should know it's not very close to pull 1.5G. Maybe with modded aero, tires etc

Maybe a Forscan tweak? Why do you think 1.5g's is the cap?
Instead of having the accelerometer gauge read 1.15 or 1.03, or .94, or 1.33.....It's seems unlikely that Lateral and Brake are exactly at 1.5 vs 1.51 or 1.56 or something more exact. On the other hand, maybe they are both really at 1.5 (per the gauge). There is another individual on this forum who posted an image of him doing 1.5 for lateral and Braking on my Accelerometer thread if you want to look at the gauge image as well.

Any "YES" I know its only a factory gauge and it may not be perfect. But just trying to figure out this data.

Thanks for asking:thumbsup:

Actually, quite the contrary eh/mec.

I was really hoping one of the track guys would chime in on this.........Not sure if this forum is really the best place to ask track related GT350 questions. If someone has a recommendation of a better place to ask this question, please let me know.

The GT350R "EASILY" gets into the 1.5+ range for lateral and braking G's, and "yes" on a real track.

I think I've seen the same pic you're talking about. That could very well be the case (1.5 g's being the cap). Not really sure what you would do with that data though.

In a track day scenario, what would be more useful would be a sand alone data acquisition system such as an Aim Solo DL. This system records lap times, OBDII data, and creates a track map using its internal accelerometer. Here's a link if you're interested.

http://www.aim-sportline.com/eng/products-car/solo/index.htm

A tool like this is essential to reducing your laptimes and being able to determine when/where/how much a tuning change affected your lap times. Hope this helps :cheers:
