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.
Top 100 "Grip Kings" - fastest cars around skidpad 2019
Skidpad is a circular track with fixed radius where cars are tested for maximum sustained lateral acceleration.
High lateral acceleration (measured in meters per second squared or Gs - 1G = 9.8 m/s²) is indicative of high cornering capability and good handling characteristics in general.
Wide, grippy tyres have big influence on skidpad results.

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.

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