Has anyone made any sense of these skidpad numbers ?!
Pontiac - .86 g's
Road and Track - .81 g's (200' radius)
Motor Trend - .80 g's (200' radius)
Car and Driver - .88 g's (300' radius)
600-700 foot slalom times for Road and Track and Motor Trend are similar at ~63.5 mph.
Car and Driver got the best skidpad numbers and listed tire inflation at 33 psi front / 39 psi rear. Is the GTO handling really sensitive to tire inflation ? Was C&D trying to overcome the built-in understeer with inflation offset? What does this imply for aftermarket tire and wheel selection ??
