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...
 
owns 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport Q4
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

Fastest I’ve been is 125 somewhere in Utah. Car was fully loaded to the max with weight as were driving to and moving to CA from OH. I was still gaining speed when my wife realized and told me to slow the **** down!
 
At 102,000 miles:

OEM tires, 2 sets of A/S3+ tires, one set of A/S4 tires (current set is near new), one set of Nokian R3 (current set is maybe 1/4 worn), 3 sets of brake pads, 1 set of rotors (totally destroyed), never been on a track. Does that count as driving hard?
 
I generally stay within 5-10mph of the speed limit, but in corners/turns I generally go fast and even get the tail out at least once a day lol.

Just hit Mulholland here in LA and was definitely out squealing the tires, but only in portions with good visibility where I can see there's no bikers/dogs/traffic ahead.

These cars LOVE being chucked around. Go kart/10 😁
Drive it daily in N mode but on side roads it goes to D and stays there. Always fun pulling away from stop lights or going around corners and, when it needs to be , it is a great long distance cruising car .

My wife always tells me I drive too fast but then when she gets behind the wheel it is Mario Andretti time :)
Beautiful Lancia BTW !.
 
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.
My baby gets driven all day everyday..HARD, SLOW, INTO CORNERS, OUTTA CORNERS..
40C -40C... SNOW RAIN SLEET ICE... 6 years later and 77000miles later shes still beatiful

Have to run the car in dynamic mode. With N mode it's so floaty it feels like I'm driving a water bed. I'm used to vehicles that are on the stiffer side though.

Speaking of, are there any aftermarket springs that don't destroy the adjustable shocks?
