I suppose technically it's a combo of the brakes (and more important the
tires) to generate a lot of g's, but I think it's probably more commonly
used as a description of the "grab" factor, pedal feel, nose bleed factor,
etc.
With the really sticky Khumo track tires, the car stops really well. Lots
of grip/torque/g's, whatever you call it!
