What will it take to get my car to pull 1.5+ lateral G's
 

If thats possible, if it is then make the number 2ish :D

no 1 g is like freefalling....9.8m/s2

i would first try to reach the 1.0g:D

well the car can pull a .92 now right?

superstickies, massive downforce, wider stance, dropped to the ground, stiff as all hell.

is that even possible ?

Hey chris, ever get the ecu tuned yet?

go buy a racing go cart.... it'll pull like 3 and cost alot less then trying to make your car do 1.5 LOL

rubber cement on the ground.........

hahaha.....why?.....

Downforce and high speeds or

Super wide super sticky tires,.. like out way beyond the fenders,.. rubber has the unique property that the less force applied to it the higher its coeficient of friction appears to be,..

getting a fc to 1.0g is enough of a task. i doubt 1.5 would even be possible without SOO much modification that you couldnt even call it an FC anymore.

serriously. NO street car pulls more than like 1.1g (thats a VERY rareified set too)

not gona happen without slicks and REDICULOUS levels of modification, if at all.

why do people just pull these questons out of their ass, like their the first to ever want to pull more than 1.0g, or that THEY discovered the magic secret to make their car faster than an enzo AND on a budget comprised soley of their lunch money.......

people, get a grip on reality!!!!

Shit all i can say is if you wanna pull g's go get on an airplane....or strap a jet engine to your car........Why you wanna screw up a perfectly good rx anyway,...

Why are you even interested in this acedemic number, especially such a high one? It has little to no relevance in street driving anyway, since you'll most likely never corner on a surface and smooth and flat as a skidpan. High lateral acceleration numbers don't necessarily mean a car handles well.

In the Eagle F1 tires vid a modified E46 M3 supposedly pulled around 1.4g on a normal road.

I have Eagle F1's >_<

Among many other things, first you would have to go with a widebody such as the one from Tri-Point like Carl Byck and I have.
I have no tires for my widebody car yet, but Carl has managed to stuff 13" wide Trans Am slicks in the rear and 11.5" up front I believe.
This setup with some decent aero at speed, after a lap or so to heat up the tires would get you around that number probably.

His car will be track ready pretty soon and I'm as anxious as he is to see how it does around the corners. btw, notice I said track, as imho, you couldn't get a car on the street near that level.

i remember seeing someone in the Race Car Tech forums that was pulling well over 1g. I don't think it would be that incredibly hard or expensive.

Widebody
Wide Rims
Racing Slicks
Coilovers

should get you close at least.

edit: found it, DamonB's FD pulled just over 1.3 g's of lateral acceleration on the road course. Keep in mind this is an FD, but the dimensions of the car are close enough to those of the FC that I would think you could get similar or better number without huge modifications.

FD has a much better suspension setup then the FC.

Stock...

my point exactly ;)

Not on a skidpad.

An FB with full suspension upgrades from G Force Engineering has pulled 1.3 g's cornering. It had an extremely stiff suspension and was using autocross compound tires. 1.3 is pretty damn good. To go from 1.1 g's to 1.3 g's is harder than going from 1.3 to 1.5. If you go out and buy a Formula 1 car you an hit 3+ g's. I'm going to just say that it can not be done by anyone in an FC.

more camber, sticky as hell tires, completely stripped lightweight everything car

E Production FBs are having a new problem. You cant buy the OEM Front rotor/hubs anymore. For the most part (ALL) of the aftermarket hub/rotors are having a problem in the high end peoples cars.
The problem is the Rotor WITH the tire attached is breaking off the hub under hard cornering.
What you end up with is a cast hub unit attached to the spindle.. and the disc itself attached to the tire goes bounding down the track as you crash into whatever is in front of you.

NOW... That being said... these cars have 9.5 Inch wide slicks all the way around. They are lighter than stock.. quite a bit.. and have full suspension.
Suspention at a minimum would consist of shocks, 2.5" springs, perches, sway bars, camber/caster, lowered a lot... etc.
These cars corner as hard as anything without ground effects. I cannot say how hard because I havn't seen and G plots of it. But I do know if you break off your hubs.. you are hanging the turns pretty hard.
When my FC is done.. I will be able to find out.
