Pretty soon we'll be handling like an F1 car, lol.
It should be quite possible to hack the lateral G sensor module (under the dash) to feed it a modified signal. The Crossfire uses a mass/spring type sensor with an analogue output, (rather than a solid-state accelerometer) The system would be just the same a 'sprint booster'; an A-D converter to digitize the output of the sensor, into a small micro (PIC/AVR etc.) to generate the desired output via a D-A converter based on a look up table or formula. I built something similar to create a variable response throttle pedal module. In fact you can do it with a single chip and some support circuitry. As ever its a bit more complicated that since the system also takes a signal from a steering angle sensor.
I'll see if I can plot the response curve of the G sensor when I get chance like I did for the throttle pedal (attached).
