Well, for ERA cars... Track testing with stock BF Goodrich Comp TA's has given nearly 1G lateral acceleration and .95G braking performance. In December, 1991, Car and Driver measured 1.05G (lateral) using Hoosier tires. Optional Spax dampers are externally adjustable for both height and damping, allowing the builder to modify the E.R.A. 427SC's ride and handling characteristics to fit personal preference.
