Top 100 "Grip Kings" - fastest cars around skidpad 2019

Nothing seems right here.

You must be on crack. GM - best suspension, best components and best R&D? Get a grip. The only reason Corvettes do well on these crappy tests is the ultra-wide tyres they have fitted.

Not a surprise to see GM cars dominating the top of this list. Best suspension, best components, best R&D, best tires. No stock production car is going to catch the ZR1 any time soon, the manga-ride suspension GM has in their vehicles is the best ever put on a vehicle period. You can also look up the best braking distances ever recorded for production vechiles and see GM dominate the top of that list as well. Amazing when a $75k Camaro can top cars that cost 3-5x as much in almost every performance category.

the article said top 100 grip kings on skidpad , I only see 70 , Where’s the rest ?

Notice the top 4 cars all have runflat tires.

It's not well nown but that's because the runflat technology actually IMPROVES grip. For some reason only GM takes advantage of it.

You might think it would make grip worse but it's actually the opposite. Check out the description in this link: https://m.tirerack.com/tires/description.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Pilot+Sport+Cup+2+ZP

If the test is made with fixed radius some cars would perform better than other even if they're not better because the distance between F and Rear axles would make a difference in which is the best speed to achieve the maximum lateral grip. A car like the 4C would have better grip in medium speed corners on the other hand a Ferrari 488 would have better lateral grip in high speed corners. Shord wheelbase perform better in smaller speeds and long wheelbase perform better in high speed. So the entire list is irrelevant. Some cars on the end of the list might be capable of pulling greater lateral grip if the test is made in a greater radius circle.

What about the Alfa Romeo SZ with 1.2 g?

if the Fiat 124 is so high up - where's the Mazda Miata?

Citroen Xantia Activa was famous for his 1.2 G's but not in list.

Confirmed. I just did 1.04 lateral g in 2017 mustang gt with stock suspension.

The Mclaren p1 Lat g was not tested

where is the McLaren p1 in this list???
