What kind of G meters do they use to measure the cornering G's when mags do these tests?

I was playing around with my Gtimer which of course I guess is not super accurate but I was able to pull 1.07 G's around left and got the same exact number on right handers this weekend too. Another time I got 1.06 G's. braking was about .85 G's Launch was sad at about .75.

I know my car sticks like glue because I took a corner on a different road even better than that, before I had the timer and my inside rearview mirror ended up at about a 30 degree angle but that particular corner was smooth as glass.

Gonna go there again this weekend and see what i get on that smoother road.

LoL. I thought about this too.

I suppose the sighting is still possible tho as there are GT-R's out there floating around in the hands of testers, magazine editors, dealerships, etc. There were GT-R sightings out at Sac Raceway and Vallejo's motoring J style show and i'm sure the cars were driven on the streets to those events.
