M5=1.2G's

Actually, I'am sure that is probably correct. When I was into late model
mustangs it was common knowledge that 1.0 g was attainable with shocks
swaybars and aquality panhard bar and proper wheel / tire combo. (This
was proved with the Kenny Brown mustangs in Road & Track) Considering
the difference in handling characteristics between my mustang and my 540
I find it easy to believe...

Am I missing something here?  For a street car to be able to corner at
even
 1.0 Gs is BIG TIME traction.  Something about 1.2 doesn't sound quite
 kosher.
 
 Thoughts?
