well they measure in g's (like .87g's) There is no way a Z/28 is .34g's thats like what a tricycle with square wheels would do.

Slalom speed is how fast a car can go through set of cones set up in a line.

A skid pad is a large circle that the car drives around and is used to measure lateral g forces.

Better definition of a skid pad

skidpad: a large area of smooth, flat pavement used for various handling tests. Roadholding is measured by defining a large-diameter circle (Car and Driver uses 300 feet) on the skidpad and measuring the fastest speed at which the car can negotiate the circle without sliding off.
