Well it wouldn't matter if you embarked on such a crusade. Skidpad and higher speed cornering g forces will correlate. Again not sure you are reading and understanding what I wrote - CORRELATE. As far as corner speed vs. cornering g force they are one in the same, since

g force = speed^2/(corner radius x gravity constant)
