Centripetal force in graveties. Higher is better. Basically how fast can you
go around a fixed radius corner before you loose traction. It's kind of an
interesting number but I feel it has limited application to the real
world...so many other factors alter how well you can take a given corner
(speed, how settled the suspension is, proper weight distribution, proper
throttle modulation, etc).

Having said that, though, it's still nice to have a higher number.  :-)
