People be careful when throwing out skidpad times. They are relative to the size of the skidpad. If you look at some mags that show great skidpad numbers, you might notice its a 300 ft skidpad. A 200ft skidpad will yield lower numbers.

For the record, it isn't all that meaningful. The most significant factor on the skidpad is the car's tires - change the tires, change the skidpad number.
