One thing Gulstrand left out of the article was that the range between "handles" and "lost into the weeds" narrows as the handling gets better. He shows this in this numbers, but doesn't explicitely say it.

I like to equate that to whether the car will scare you before you lose it. A good handling car won't scare the enthusiast driver before he's facing the other way and I've got video of Steve to prove it.............
