Andrew, Realistically, what sort of speeds could a well sorted 1600 negotiate that bit of road safely. You seem to have only done the test at on or a bit above legal road speeds, great results but it would be interesting to see a bit of a go with the same gear. If so, then .9g lateral is impressive, but pushed a 1600 will achieve very similar to race prepped cars and pretty much in street trim.

In the top screen, the red trace is lateral (cornering) acceleration, blue is longnitudinal (forward/braking) acceleration, and the green is vertical. The bottom screen is speed. As can be seen, the little 510 reached ~0.9G cornering acceleration, while still remaining very balanced. For comparison, a V8Supercar reaches ~1.5G, and Phil Morriss's FJ24 racecar generated ~1.2G at Robroy hillclimb.
