Oh. Oh... Lol they showed raw vertical acceleration relative to the car body.
It's nuts. Braking at 1:30, it shows 1.7g longitudinal, 0.0 lateral. I don't for a second believe it's braking at 1.7g.
Then at 1:37 it shows max cornering g's 1.1g as he begins to accelerate, still showing 1.0 *braking* gs! The *minimum* braking g's is about 0.5g, while it's clearly accelerating forward! WTF, it's like they're taking 1g vertical gravity and *adding* it to longitudinal gs...

If they're saying it'll pull 1 g, while being supported by the earth with 1g vertical gravity, and that makes it a 2g car, well obviously that's ridiculous...

Without downforce this is NOT a "2g" car...

Still super-bad and I want one...
