There was a "Classic Motorsport" issue a while back that had Brian Redman in a Porsche 917 or Chevron B or similar and also in a race prepped Sprite on the track. I think it had all the G-force data for the Sprite. Anyone have it handy? I would be stunned if a street Sprite got anywhere near 1G. When the g-forces are instantaneous, that is what engineers like to call "shock". We just call it "expensive".
