what does the EVO face up to?

People be careful when throwing out skidpad times. They are relative to the size of the skidpad. If you look at some mags that show great skidpad numbers, you might notice its a 300 ft skidpad. A 200ft skidpad will yield lower numbers.

For the record, it isn't all that meaningful. The most significant factor on the skidpad is the car's tires - change the tires, change the skidpad number.

Skid pad lateral acceleration is not dependant on the radius of the path. A vehicle should achieve roughly the same lateral acceleration regardless of the size of the pad (within reason), however it will occur at vastly different speeds.
