How FOS is R&T?

I have a R&T mag, April 2002, yellow Mazda on the cover. Road test results appear to be provided on pages 128 and 129. They show the $1,000,000 Porsche GT-1 with 1.07 lateral Gs, able to stop from 80 mph in 154 ft. They also show a $420,000 Corvette C5-R that stops almost as well as the GT-1 (172 ft), but CORNERS AT 1.44 LATERAL Gs!

What's up with that? Is anyone suspicious of a claim like this? Can't stop as fast, but corners WAY harder than the most serious Porsche? Huh? Have the laws of physics changed recently?
