If that were true it would whup a** at skidpad competitions - or races of any kind - but I've never seen one entered or seen any independent test of its capabilities. Just because the guy in the video says it can do 2gs doesn't mean it's true - you don't see him doing it. You do realize, some parts of that video are speeded up ;)

Street tires have grip coefficients ranging from about 0.7 to 1.0. Without serious downforce, no vehicle can exceed 0.7 to 1.0g on street rubber. It doesn't look like the T-Rex generates much downforce, especially at street-legal speeds. At high speeds it doesn't have enough power to generate a lot of downforce. From an engineering POV, it just doesn't add up.
