Yes the car is capable of that and then some. Most drivers are not though.

Mine has it regardless of the mode. It's the 4th setting with the shift lights.

the g meter is useless IMHO...it lags slightly behind and really doesn't give much help at a road course. The shift light is useful.

I don't road course it but I have some nice twisty roads by my house for spirited driving and it works for me. I like the peak hold feature.

I've had my 2015 for 8 months now. Still can't find these shift lights described in the owners manual!

Mine doesn't lag, maybe your just noticing that after your corner is complete it does display whatever the top G's you hit in that corner was for a few seconds. I prefer it that way though... and yes, love the shift light as well.

Your only going to see it on the G-Force screen when WOT.

Probably accurate but it holds the peak G it senses for a couple of seconds on the display so if you jerk into a fairly slow corner it will hold that on the display and read high. Try a sustained circle and it will come down to reality.

I have a 2013 vert and it's there, along with the shift light. My highest is 1.05 g's in a sustained corner (not a jerk into a corner).
