My friend had a winged A mod car. He pulled over 2 G just nosing out my Son's Gokart. We found that both the kart and the A mod car had to be set up with a large percentage of oversteer to do well. They had so much oversteer they would not negotiate a normal course very well at all. An ill handling car might do well on the circle but not so well in real world conditions.
Wasn't the new ZR1 supposed to pull 1.19 G, I think I read that somewhere.
