lateral g's
A guy I work with keeps insisting that American sports cars are only made for going fast in a straight line, while European/Asian cars have much better control on winding roads. Can someone either post or direct me to a site where I can locate comparison facts and figures on lateral g-forces between cars and other pertinant info?

I believe that the Corvette will do ~1g on a skid pad..hell the Camaro Z28 will do ~8 and change
Im always amazed that anyone would drag race a Vette...their not made for that..they're made or going 100+mph....then doing a sharp turn right..left..right..etc
