I've seen honda fits pulling like 1.08 and such but I never see any awesome EP or DC5 skidpad ratings!

Anyone have links or articles that show some?


Thanks guys.

 

ya that would be pretty interesting to know!

 

Skidpad is more of a function of how large and how sticky your tire is. In reality, it doesn't really tell you too much about how a car actually handles.

 

Well I still want to know.

The fit that SCC pulled 1.08 Gs I'm sure wasn't running 225 tires. Haha. And I know race tires would make a huge diff but I still want to know. I know according to Car and Driver the EP outpulls a stock 07 WRX by like .05 Gs and the WRX is AWD and runs 225s instead or 195s.

 

I agree!
Tires make the G's happen. But with the third leg in the air, the EP doesn't perform well enough to brag about (only around 0.7 g's) LOL!

These are the best tires money can buy on the market now-

if you had these suction cup tires, you could easily pull 2 g's!

 

Well my Dunlop Direzzas are rated for .95 Gs but can an EP actually pull that?

I thought I saw in Car and Driver that the EP pulled .84 stock.

 

With Hoosier 275's on the front and 225-245's in the back I'd bet the Ep3 could easily pull 1.10G's. It's mainly all about tires.

Suspension does matter some because you don't want the car leaning too much, but it still doesn't mean a car that can pull a certain G figure is a good handling car.

Don't get too hung up on this, really.
