I agree somewhat. Yeah it was kinda meant for daily driving also.....but damn that rear end kills it!!!

I don't like how they angled the corners in on the new ones. It's just weird.

Not sure.....but the previous one feels like the damn Fox bodies. Every ddamn bump you hit it feels like the car is going to run off the road lol

The only downside of LRA... bumpy roads can be a little sketchy.

Although the Z isn't exactly smooth on bumpy surfaces so that just goes to show you that IRS alone won't guarantee a performance improvement. I know the Cayman beats the Z hands down in the rough-road handling / confidence inspiring department.
