Reason I was guessing around 1g, give or take, was because of what my current car is capable of with lateral G's. With crappy Goodyear tires, about the same size in the rear and slightly bigger in the front (285 in the rear and 265 in the front), the car was able to get .98g's from Motor Trends tests. And that's with a solid rear axle and more weight than what the SS is supposed to weigh.

I figured the 2016 Camaro SS, with the weight reduction, independent rear suspension, more rigid chassis and magnetic ride control, should be able to obtain around a G of lateral grip if my current car was able to.

I'm not looking to argue, I'm just wondering if I missed something. Is my logic messed up?

bump on this one. I don't know, I feel like 1g of grip is possible with the listed improvements they said they have made and judging from other platforms that aren't even as advanced as this one.
