The reason I do not see the 1SS or 2SS pulling more than .94-.95, at best, is easy. The cars are engineered for ride comfort geared toward the non-enthusiast buyer. Now, if you get the MRC option, I could see better numbers, but in base form, I think not.

Not a G8 GT, I have a 2014 Shelby Mustang that pulls .98 and does it with similarly sized Goodyear tires on a solid rear axle with more weight. I think the G8 GT was .88 if I remember correctly.
That's what I was referring to, with MRC.
I know the new Vette is a totally different animal than a Camaro, but they managed 1.11g's of grip from that thing with similarly sized tires, all while still being a comfortable cruiser in tour mode. Again, I know this is a Vette, my point is it seems like comfort and handling can both be had with MRC.
The Chevy SS which is a nearly 4,000 pound sedan gets .94 G's of grip according to motor trend. It's gotta be better than that at least.
