while true, that doesn't reflect what skidpad numbers are representing. They indicate how fast a car can go around a circular path. G=9.8 m/s/s *speed squared/radius of the turn. So a 2% difference actually means that speed the car will be able to go around a turn approximately 1% faster. Even a 10% better rating is only good for 5% more speed.
