Whoever wrote that got the figures from a high school textbook equation that leaves out variables such as friction... you know the ones I mean

What? 0-62mph in 0.9 seconds is closer to 3 Gs how did you get 7 ?

Limit is 10 before blackout I think. And that is vertical not lateral Gs which would induce blood loss to the brain.

They have a 4 rotor car they are working on too, anyone see that?

Well I guessed speed at 62mph from 60mph and I used 27m/s when it is actually 27.71

(27.71 - 0) / 0.9 = 30.79 / 9.81 = 3.14 Gs

So yeah you're spot on.
