G-Masters - Sports Compact Car (Aug 2007)

Sport Compact Car Magazine Tests the Cornering limits of 14 Top Road and Track Cars

In a hunt for the best cornering sports cars, Sport Compact Car Magazine(SCC) Put several of the World's best street cars on the skid pad and the track.

They then brought out a set of race prepared track cars including the 4wd Mitsu Evo VIII and the venerable Nissan Skyline GTR.

For good measure they threw in a Pro Formula Mazda and a 1982 WIlliams F1 machine. Then as a final touch decided to add a PVP 250 Superkart.

Among the final list were:

(i) a 2007 Porche 911 Turbo (997) (ii) A 2007 Lotus Exige S

(iii) a Track Prepared Mitsubishi Evolution VIII (iv) a 1982 Willialm FW08c F1 car

(v) a 2006 GP winning Pro Star Mazda Open Wheeler and (drumroll please)

(vi) a PVP 250 Superkart.

How did they stack up? Here are some highlights:
