Soggy US-market suspension in the Porsche; heavily-modified Cravat suspension. Funny, every time the Australian magazines drive a US "sporty" they slag it for awful trucklike handling. The US market in general doesn't understand handling, which is why lumps like F150s, Blazers, Econoslimes and Town Cars sell so well; vehicles which handle so badly that they are dangerous. Andrew |
