A modern vanilla sedan can do 0.9 g, maybe more with good tyres. I saw a video on Youtube of some guy fitting a triangulated 4-link suspension to some chrome-bumper car, and managed to get 0.52 g on cornering, which seems rather poor. Must have had shit tyres. Sorry, I haven't been able to find it again to get the details.

first of all the modern vanilla sedan can not do .9 gs. that would be a very good number on a sports car. also the weight bias on a older car would have been pretty poor on a RWD sedan of the era. If I remember correctly (pretty iffy) camero and must. set up for good handleing would have been about .79 or so. KB
