g-force: Unit of measure for acceleration, lateral acceleration or deceleration. One "g" is equal to 9.8m/second2, the rate at which any object accelerates when falling at sea level. The feeling of being "pushed back in the seat" under acceleration is a "g-force." When the car is cornering, lateral acceleration is felt as the force that pushes the occupants sideways toward
the outside of the curve.

.98g on the skid pad, I believe.

I'm not sure about linear G's, though.

So G-force is kinda like tq in a way. The tq is what pushes you back on the seat not hp. Thats why the apr chip is perfect for the car.

the easy way i was told, torque gets you where you have to go and hp keeps you there
