thx247 is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't think 1+ G in 4 directions is possible on street tires unless 275's give you tons of grip over 205's. You can get .99g peak, and .88 sustained on azenis without coilovers (OMG! unPOSSIBLE) and 205/50/15's though. That gives you 160ish feet 60-0. I think you'd need a much longer contact patch to get better braking distances, so maybe larger tires or ones with better tread pattern for braking. If you put coils on and slammed the car lower you might be able to get 1.1 sustained, but on the street a low ride like that would bounce around everywhere because of the high spring rates.

112ft 60-0 would be pretty difficult unless you get the braking down and really adjust the bias around. I'd guess its impossible without slicks actually. Its well over a -1g braking.

The 240 will never be as rigid as a modern sports car. That would fix most of the 240's problems right there!
