The PTM is very similar to Racelogic, and the Mag suspension has been leased to every other company that uses it because Porsche and Ferrari can't beat GM's design so they lease it/pay for it.

I'm impressed that GM is leasing that out. It means it's the best.

It's like Mitsubishi's Turbos, or Honda and Toyota's hybrid tech from a few years back, leased out for the benefit of others.

Same, and to be perfectly honest, I am butthurt that I didn't fork over the extra $9K to get it and the CB's in my car. If I had, I probably would not be lusting after a different ride in another year or so.
