What skidpad with new performance tires
You cant get Michelin pilot super sports (what comes on the c7 stingray) in c4 corvette sizes but if you changed out the wheels and put the Michelin on what kind of skidpad could you get every thing else stock?

I doubt that anyone can answer that w/much accuracy. Depends on:
*Alignment (stock also? Or optimized)
*Surface condition
*Surface and tire temp
* car year/suspension/equipment
Many variables. I'd think most C4's would be able to pull over 1g with those tires and an optimized alignment, but an '84 Z51 would probably to it easier/better than the rest.

- too many variables. if I had to pick a number, i'd say 1G. IIRC an 84 in stock form was around .87G - add in a 30 year tire/suspension technology upgrade, and 1G should be a piece of cake -
