Braking G for a Turbo?

Has anyone ever seen any braking tests or comparisons for S2 or Turbo models where comparitive braking Gs are mentioned? I can accurately measure my own braking effort, but there isnt much point if I cant compare it to anything else.

At a push even something that uses an iPhone app would be better than nothing.

We had quite a big discussion about this a few years ago and a couple of us with Gtech accelerometers did some testing. I can't find the main thread but read the second page of this one and there is some data that might give you a comparison:

121 feet is your target to beat, best I got from my S2 at the time was 127 feet. I would like to try it again with my race car when the tyres are warmed up but my butt-o-meter tells me it isn't any better by any noticeable margin, cornering forces of course are something different where they are insanely higher than a road car.
 
Oops sorry I did all the runs using the 60-0 feature. You can calculate average g though using a bit ole applied maths, to cut to the chase 121 feet is very close on 1g
 
I need to RTFM then? [:D]

Ive never used the braking feature and didnt realise that it would give a measured distance result.
