Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

but what if the turns are extremely tight and successive lol, the body roll will upset the car's balance you will have to take it easy to let the car settle lol. The Miata does roll a bit from factory, so do a lot of Japanese sports car actually, it's so the car feels fun.
Yeah then have to drive slower so that the car has enough time to roll back and forth between the turns. So when driving for occupant comfort the limit is not grip but it's something more complicated.
I think, occupant comfort is not limited by grip/acceleration alone, but by also the rate of change of acceleration (in all directions and rotations). Assuming everyone are in seatbelts and kids are in car seats so no one rattles around in the car. I notice that I can still brake slightly aggressively if I ease onto the pedal gradually and pile it on slowly.
And don't forget NVH and sensations lol... check this video out for example
I gotta admit I screamed like a little bitch when my friend took me out in his 1JZ-GTE Supra too... wasn't going fast if I wanted to be honest.
