depends on the slalom and skid pad...
Infini IV for example does a .91G on a 200ft pad and a 60.7 MPH through a 700 ft slalom
While the 88 GTU did a .80 on the same skidpad and the 88 10thAE did a .83
and slalom was 64 for the GTU and 64.6 on the 10thAE on a 700 ft slalom...
or the 88 vert which had a .82 on the 300ft skidpad and a 63.3 on the 700ft slalom...
or maybe the motor trends tests on slightly different pads and speeds...
a 89 vert did .83 on a 200ft skidpad and a 58.95 on a 600ft slalom
while the 89 Turbo did a .87g on a 200ft pad and 61.15 on a 600ft slalom...
or maybe the 89 GTUs which did a .86 on a 200ft 300ft pad but no slalom speed recorded...
see they are all different based on day, time, pads, slaloms

wow... so my 10th has better than my gtu!? I never would have guessed! I thought the 88 GTU was the auto-x king.. I assume that whoever had the best lat accel would be the best is that incorrect?

not necesarily g is a measure of a continue turning as in a single large turn but a car with good g's doesnt nesicarily handle great because it doesnt measure the ability too change direction such as a softer suspension will most likely give u better G's but wont handle (ie change directions better or be as controlable) as a car with a stiffer suspension that feels like its on rails u can go too far in both directions its finding the right balance (and ur GTU is alot lighter so it probaly is better for autocross)
