Can your Scirocco outhandle a Honda?

["Ben Channard" <zeroid@hotmail.com>]

     OK, sorry about the subject baiting.  But, most of you have probably 
seen the G-Games in the current SCC.  Basically, SCC invited it's sister 
publications (EC;VW Trends; Import Tuner; Turbo) to submit two cars each and 
then the cars were graded on performance on the skidpad, slalom, and a 
roadcourse, all on g-Force T/A KD street tires.  An autoXing RX-7 swept 
every event but the highest finishing front-driver on the 200-ft. skidpad 
was a Honda del Sol at 0.926g  Is this about as good as it gets for a FWD 
vehicle?  Has anyone with a G-Tech Pro measured their car's grip?  I 
remember a while back, one of the big three car magazines held a skidpad 
contest but I can't recall what type of numbers were generated.  I do 
remember that some kart with a suction system came out on top.  Anyway, I 
see a lot of dyno numbers and 1/4 mile times but never any quantitation of 
static grip.  Anyone break the 1.0g barrier?  benton----
