Not sure if these are great, good, okay, or bro you suck.

Trying to figure out how to get Track Addict footage postable.

Being purely objective here, I got 1.2G cornering and 1.3 G braking at my last track day and I would consider myself slow compared to others.

Thanks for the input. I really don't know if those are good or not. Sounds like they're on the low/slow side. Which is kind of what I was guessing at. Which just means I lots of upward mobility!

Stock tires can manage probably 1.10-1.15g, possibly a bit more. Just depends on the track surface. Braking probably 1.0+ as well. Accel is limited by engine power and gearing. I get 0.71 but better than stock tires

Well now I look like the complete scrub that I am! I'm also not on stock Pirelli tires. Cooper Zeons. Definitely looking at springs and dampers. And squaring the setup.

Here’s mine. I don’t track it just regular street driving. I’m fairly certain it doesn’t record the data correctly. I can’t think of a turn where I could’ve pulled 1.5 G’s on my old factory square 255 pirellis. I’ve since upgraded to wider Michelin’s but even then I doubt these would hold that level of grip on the street. The braking I could maybe see as I’ve done a couple of 140 pulls recently and slowed down fairly fast but I would still doubt it being 1.5 G’s.

You need to reset it once, then it records correctlyish.

I have in the past before that one. When I first got the car I would look at it a lot and reset it to see what the highest I could get was and every once in a while I go in and reset it too since I know the values are ridiculous and I want to see what g’s I’m actually getting but somehow they always go up pretty high. I wonder if the max is 1.5?

That's weird. Especially since your laterals are wildly different. I would assume that it's not reading correctly, but good luck getting it fixed. Probably best to run a real accelerometer if you want real data anyway.

Yeah I think it’s an issue with the way Ford programmed it. I also read that it defaults to 1.5 after calibration. But hey at least I can tell the kids in the Honda Civics that my car pulls 1.5 G’s.

Just look at the tires!

Dampers can help a little over uneven ground or in transition, springs help transition a lot but neither of those will add to steady state grip, that’s the tires role.
