It think the point was missed with my comment; a car's "handling" can still be measured by numbers, but not just one measurement. Overall handling balance involves steering response, understeer/oversteer characteristics, how quickly it transitions from understeer to oversteer, and how it negotiates different types of cornering situations. It is why MotorTrend started doing the figure-8 testing (even though it is not comprehensive).
So, comparing cornering capabilities only based on a car's peak lateral-G load is erroneous. |
