What is a GTR/Can-am's slalom?

A US 2005 Elise has a slalom of 73.9 mph. Mosler MT900 has 74.6. Is the GTR/Can-am's slalom higher than the Mosler?

Sorry have to ask. Define 'Slalom'.

The slalom test I'm referring to measures the car's handling capabilities by going through set of cones from side-to-side with the quickest speed... The link you provided is a skidpad test which is another form of measuring the car's handling by driving around in a circle.

Here's a link to MotorTrends review of the 2005 Lotus Elise. It mentioned about the new 600-foot-slalom record for a certified production car.
