Skidpad numbers vary with conditions just like 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Plus there is no set way to measure skidpad numbers, some use 200 ft circles, others use 300 ft. I imagine that cars might give better results with the bigger circle. Then there is the grip of the road itself. Smooth asphalt will be different from rough concrete
