So many pretty colours, but the data is useless without the context in which it was gatherd. Were you on a track? why do you only have accleration data? any times? I guess I'm asking, what was the purpose of this test?

Looking at it, though, it's funny to think that I have driven a car that puts over 1G in positive longitudinal acceleration.

longitude is the red line, and it doesn't come close to 1G.

Yes, that's my point. I have driven a car (not the 8) that pulls 1G under longitudinal acceleration. It's a big big difference.

Cool, will be neat to see a comparison if you are keeping such a tight watch on the variables.

I would think you could do better than .77G under braking.

Ok, now it makes more sense. I was wondering what was going on at around 2:20, with all the braking but no lateral Gs. Aha! - stop sign
