    Not Buick Specific but I seem to remember Global West, with all their componants, had a 67ish Tempest that pulled nearly, or even 1.0G on the skidpad. That was with all of their componants, though. I would imagine low .70 or even high .60 in completely stock trim.

    If someone can tell me how to setup the skidpad I would try it with my GSX. It has the global west front suspsension.

    How do you measure the amount of G's pulled?

    im not really sure how to make one but you can make a contraption or you can buy an electronic gadget that will measure it for you i think they can also measure things like 0-60 and 60-0 and calc hp and torqe

    layout a 200ft diameter circle with cones and you've got yourself a skidpad.
