How hard do you drive your 2.0T Giulia?

As the title states, I’d like to get a general idea of how you guys are driving your cars? I drive my car daily and it sees full load/boost and redline multiple times daily. I always wait until it’s warmed up on the temp gauge. But I use dynamic mode and paddles often and run the car through its paces often.

have not tracked mine, but wonder if in track and manual/D chassis balance would be upset due to the harshness.

there is one way to find out i guess

Just tried in N mode and the shifts are not as harsh but still pretty fast and bit harsh.
when did you shift from 1-2 In N mode? Just curious. Mine was around 5k rpm’s from a stop and it was definitely firm there
according to the built-in g-meter i hit 1.13 (max reading from squadra logger). Is it accurate i wonder?
The max I have gotten laterally is 1.01g. I have hit 1.1 when braking (reference thread "pure luck" and my missing of a deer by inches). I have race mod installed since otherwise the built in gauge pegs at 1.0.

I run Michelin PS A/S 4 tires. I suspect I could get higher numbers if I had corsa/cup type tires. OTOH, on the road a great deal of caution is needed when reaching numbers like this if you want to live very long...
Mostly in D mode and Manual when i can... i need to hear the flaps open. i always try and rev it to 6K :) I try and drive it little hard as it calls for it. i have taken sharp turns on 90-100 mph and the car flies which is scary and amazing at the same time

Around 5k as well. Hard to say exactly since first is super short.

Me too
That's just over 200mph!

Also shows you how stable the car is that the driver could take one hand off the wheel at those speeds
