93-94 SE Skidpad Numbers?
I was just wondering what the skidpad numbers for the 93 or 94 SE are. I'm looking for the 60-0mph braking distance as well. I tried google'ing it but I couldn't find anything useful. Thanks in advance.

check car and driver, motortrend, etc archives.. I've seen some of those numbers out there..
factory skidpad numbers are roughly 0.82G lateral.
in my car, I'm 0.9 on street tires and 1.2 on a track surface with slicks on.

Numbers I've seen from some magazines and clippings I own range from 0.76 to 0.80 G if I remember right.... I recall the numbers weren't stunningly good, but decent at the time. Depends what tires they tested the car with too, as (US) SE 5spd models had a choice between all-season or summer V-rated tires.

Car and Driver, Aug 92 -- .78 Story lists Yokohama A344, 205/65/VR15.
Car and Driver, Nov. 91 -- .78 No mention of tires.
Motor Trend, Oct. 1991 -- .82 Story states the car has 205/65/VR15. Bridgestone Potenzas.
All cars tested were new 1992 SE 5-speeds. Car and Driver tests were different tests on different cars, but had the same results.

0.78g for the SE 5spd - Motor Trend, 1994.
Matt, your car should be featured on those British car shows. "Top Gear" I think it's called. You know the ones where the guy with the accent test drives the sports cars and talks about them while driving. Usually it's true sports cars, or supercars that are featured but a modded 3rd gen max should be an exception.

Meh.. the instructors I've had drive it at the track aren't too fond of it. it's darty and wanders on the track, and understeers horribly at the limit. I've still got a lot of suspension tuning issues I'm trying to work out, then I'll clean up the body and start calling some friends I know that work for magazines.

Oh, I forgot about the braking numbers in my first post:
Car and Driver, Aug 92 -- 70-0 = 183 feet
Car and Driver, Nov. 91 -- 70-0 = 182 feet
Motor Trend, Oct. 1991 -- 60-0 = 122 feet

Most magazines don't test cars that are on the way out, especially ones that have been entirely unchanged in three model years.
