Most bone stock 3rd gens can pull between .80 and .84. Although a recent magazine showed this to be a lot lower with a bunch of mods. I think that had track surface problems due to the similarly low numbers they achived for a SVT 03. Anyway, I have read numerous articles over the years that say .84 is about the norm. I would say you are still right around there to around .87 or so. Once you get subframes, and better tires your nubers could get as high as 1g. At that point you are at the limitation of street tires and can't get any higher.
Originally posted by 87350IROC I think you are underestimating the thirdgen. I have seen mag test results as high as .92G for later model cars.
Yea I have to but I was making an average. I have seen some as high as .92 and others with the same mods around .85 to .88. It really depends on track conditions, and tire compound. But they are no slouch and you will deffinately have a hard time staying in the middle of your seat.
