Anyone know the skidpad result for the SE? Car & Driver and Road & Track have different #'s. Both seem low at around .80g's. In Car & Driver, even the Sentra SE has .86g's

Also, would a RSB improve that number?

i've seen as high as .85 for a stock max...skidpad isn't really what you should use to see what car handles better...slalom is a much more accurate test of a cars handling abilities...skidpad does test the handling of the car, but if you have poor tires (as we do) skidpad goes down a lot while the car can still handle pretty well

just for your info.
the 97 Stillen SMX Maxima pulled a .90g on skidpad and 67.8 mph thru slalom...not bad for just springs, FSTB and the RSB. oh..the car did have 17x8 momos on 235/45/17 yokohama tires...so i guess the stock tires will not meet these figures..but should be fairly close.

Thanks for the info. Makes me feel better that the Max. with some minor additions can compete with the best of them in handling, (stock anyway)
