Melting Slicks
.78 through an 80 mph sweeping left hander (in my GFs car, I have a lowly 1LT so i can't see what i've done in mine. 
). I know i've had it well into the .80-.90 range around that one in mine, but no HUD.

Advanced
Just novice (had it two months) in my '08, F55, A6 and have only seen as high as .89. This was on a 270 degree looped freeway interchange. Replicated it a couple of times. All controls on and F55 in tour mode. The car felt solid and I did not feel like it was about to break loose.
I am amazed at the high readings posted here. I don't check mine all the time and will have to see what readings I get around a tight, low radius, corner. I love the fact that it saves the reading for you.

Yes, the banking helped a little. There is another turn I do often which has a reverse camber and I have never gotten above 1G on it. Also, yes, it's easy to end up in a ditch if you just try to get a high number without building up to it. Practice makes perfect. You start slow and build up until you slip. When you slip NEVER touch the brakes or change the feathering of the gas (you are going through sharpest point of the turn with a light pressure on the gas, aren't you?). If you've built up slowly you know you are very close to what the car will do so a few feet of slip is all it should take to get it around. But that is your limit so don't push any farther until you improve something so that you can routinely do it without slipping. And NEVER turn off the nannies! They are there to help you get around the turn. Let them.

Nannies?
