Fastest times through our cones as well
Besides.. we have witnesses.. lol. One of them was Mark from Lateral Dynamics. His tires are DOT legal but sticky as hell. Car felt very predictable and reacted very well.
As for the skid pad we ran several clockwise and counterclockwise then averaged the best in each direction.
Why do people think that you HAVE to spend a fortune to build a great handling car? It was fun watching the little Mustang smack around all the high dollar cars that day. About the only place it needed real improvement in was braking.
Oh, we tried like hell to get 1g but just couldn't get it to average that way. With some suspension tuning we felt it could have gotten there.
