TT review Sept. Popular Mechanics
PM compares The TTRQ to 6 other roadsters. They were complimentery of the TT but I don't understand why they could only get .79g on the skid pad when C&D/R&T got .86g/87g<p>Jack Hinkle

tire pressure, altitude,weather, specific car,alignment,the make up of the skid pad, driver
all these things can contribute changes in skid pad readings. Im sure that there are even more variables out there that can effect the numbers.

All skid pads are different.
I've noticed over the years that C&D's results are typically lower than those shown in the other mags. A lot of it depends on the surface, diameter of the skid pad, temerature and so on....<p>Jason Dale
