It's great that folks can carry passengers without making them sick. That said, for many people non violent, but pronounced changes in the direction and intensity of G forces will unsettle their inner ears. My approach to street performance driving is similar to what the guys at Cycle World used to call "The Pace." This involves limited use of the brakes and using the accelerator only in the corner itself after which the pace is set to (more or less) the entry speed for the next corner.

In this mode, axial G forces tend to be mild to nonexistent. Smoothness is the goal. And yet, if you're running at 90+% of the Gs a tire will provide on a serpentine road, some folks will still green up on you as surely as costume jewelry in a Louisiana summer.
